The fourth day of the Louis Vuitton Cup semifinals, held yesterday in Barcelona, concluded with INEOS Britannia qualifying for the final of the 37th edition of the America's Cup. In a race characterized by challenging weather conditions and a technically demanding racecourse, the British team showed solid and highly coordinated performance, precisely outpacing their direct competitors.


Tactical control and key maneuvers in INEOS Britannia’s victory

The INEOS Britannia team, led by their helmsman Sir Ben Ainslie, implemented a tactical strategy focused on controlling the racecourse, excelling in upwind maneuvers and reaching optimal speeds on the downwind legs. Real-time decision-making and the ability to adapt to the changing wind conditions were key to their performance.

Meanwhile, American Magic, despite showing notable improvement in the early stages of the day, was unable to make the necessary comeback to secure their spot in the final. Although the American team showed better handling of their boat during the tacks, it wasn’t enough to counteract the tactical advantage of INEOS Britannia.
