I couldn’t wait until Thursday to inform you that Emirates Team New Zealand wins the second part of the Louis Vuitton Trophy, which has took place in Auckland from 9 to 21 March. The other team having reached the finals is the Italian Mascalzone Latino, which lost 2 out of 3 final regattas. Just recall that ETNZ just won the first part of the Trophy, the Round Robin.
The final ranking:
1 – EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND
2 – MASCALZONE LATINO AUDI TEAM
3 – AZZURRA
4 – ARTEMIS
5 – ALL4ONE
6 – TEAMORIGIN
7 – ALEPH SAILING TEAM

Next Louis Vuitton date will be in Sardinia, in the enchanting Maddalena Archipelago, starting from the end of May (22 May – 6 Juin 2010). The participating teams have to be confirmed; apart from the 8 Auckland teams, there will probably be Bmw Oracle and Luna Rossa.
