UPDATE, Nov. 20, 0745 hours
By winning the round robin with a perfect 11-0 record the Pizza-La Sailing Team won the right to choose their opponent for the semifinals of the Pizza-La Red Lobster Nippon Cup. After the crew consulted, skipper Peter Gilmour announced they chose Dane Jes Gram-Hansen and the Gram-Hansen Racing Team.
That decision forced a match-up between Ed Baird, skipper of Team Musto, and Dean Barker, skipper of Team New Zealand. The first crew to score 3 points will win their semifinal match and advance to Sunday’s final round.
Also today, a pair of America’s Cup crews will battle for fifth and sixth place. Philippe Presti, helmsman for France’s le Defi syndicate, races Michele Ivaldi, a member of Italy’s Luna Rossa Challenge. The first team to win 2 points will place fifth and the other team sixth.
