The final day of racing in the America’s Cup World Series held in Plymouth proved to be a thrilling and fitting climax to the eight day event. With strong and gusting winds racing conditions were reminiscent of the previous Sunday and resulted in collisions and capsizes. First off French Energy Team capsized before the start whilst manoeuvring to avoid Team Korea. Then a collision seconds before the start between Spanish Green Comm Racing and Swedish Team Artemis saw the Spanish team retire from the race, the skipper being taken off the boat with a fractured hand. Despite damage to the starboard hull resulting in taking on water Artemis continued to race but eventually capsized near the end of the course with a crewman going through the wing luckily without injury. Despite managing to get the boat upright Artemis were unable to complete the course in the 10 minutes allowed after the winner and ultimately forfeited the race. Not long after the start Team China also capsized.
Oracle Racing Spithill won the fleet racing on Sunday and Emirates Team New Zealand came second, combined with Emirates win of the match racing championships, New Zealand lead the series by 4 points.
Throughout the event entertainment was provided at the Base on Plymouth Hoe. For this final evening a large crowd turned out to see performances by the Fisherman’s Friends and Mad Dog Mcrea.
