- description: Emirates Team New Zealand suffered its first breakdown during racing today in the Louis Vuitton Cup, the America's Cup Challenger Series, but that didn't stop the Kiwi crew from defeating Luna Rossa Challenge. Sailing on the third of seven legs, a clip failed at the head of the sail that holds it to the headstay of Aotearoa. It took the crew more almost three minutes to detach the sail from the headstay and pitch it overboard, where it was retrieved by crew in the team's chase boat. Skipper Dean Barker and the Kiwis continued on, powered only by the 131-tall wing foot sail, and defeated the Italian syndicate by 2 minutes and 19 seconds to score their sixth point of the challengers' series.
