From November 12 to 27, the fourth stage of the prestigious international match sailing regatta Louis Vuitton Trophy Dubai was held in Dubai. The results of the second day of racing on Louis Vuitton Trophy Dubai sailboats was the unexpected victory of the Russian sailing team The Synergy and the New Zealand Emirates Team New Zealand, which took second and third places respectively. The first place at this stage of the race was won, in accordance with the expectations of many, by the American team of James Spitill - BMW Oracle Racing. The start of the race on this day was postponed due to the lack of a sea breeze. An hour before the start of the regatta, at noon, there were only light gusts of wind, the air temperature was + 30 ° С.
The Synergy Russian team, which lacked only a little luck to win the Louis Vuitton Trophy La Maddalena earlier this year, used all its opportunities and reserves to get around the Italians from Mascalzone Latino Audi. And she succeeded. “We had a rather controversial pre-start,” Rod Dawson said modestly after the regatta of the tactics of The Synergy. - "Despite the penalty stop at the beginning of the race, we were still able to take advantage of it in the best way, to our advantage. We were able to speed up and continued to do so throughout the race. I believe that we really showed ourselves well in this race"
