Quote From Francesco De Angelis
Francesco de Angelis,
skipper of Luna Rossa, at the end of today's race said:
"Today we had a very close match with Alinghi and the
outcome of the race was uncertain right until the very end.
We had a very light collision with the Swiss boat due to an
unnecessary error on our part that we could have easily
avoided. It was an unforced mistake. During the last run we
also had a few problems with our spinnaker sheet, but the
race was still open. I will now meet the crew for the day's
debriefing, where we will analyse the race and consider all
that we could have done better. We hope tomorrow's match
will be as hard fought as today".
