America’s Cup World Series – Standings and Bermuda Results

Three events, three different winners.
  • Land Rover BAR won the opening event on their home waters in Portsmouth.
  • Emirates Team New Zealand took the event in Gothenburg, the only regatta with racing on two days.
  • Artemis Racing took the prize in Bermuda, in spite of a collision with an umpire boat.
Notable by their absence in this list is the defender, Oracle Team USA who were on the podium at each regatta but have not managed to win one.

ETNZ leads the America’s Cup World Series with Oracle in second. In the table above, the red numbers are the results for Sunday races, which count double.

After Three Events

America's Cup World Series Leaderboard

The top line for each team shows their points. The second line is their race results. High point scoring. First place earns 10 points on Saturday, 20 points on Sunday. Last place on Sunday earns 10 points, just like first place on Saturday. Seems odd, but that’s the way it is.

AC45F Foil Controls

The foil rake controls on the AC45F one design cats are relatively primitive, making the boats hard to sail. All of the teams are still doing “wheelies.”

Emirates Team New Zealand took second in the regatta and leads the America’s Cup World Series. No wind on Saturday caused a reshuffle of the schedule and three races were run on Sunday, all worth double points in the America’s Cup World Series.
