Prestart and Azzura controls
All4one.
Using the spectator boats to
try to get clear.
Azzura leads to the start.
All4one pushes through to
leeward and luffs ...
earning a penalty.
Note blue flag of umpire boat.
First cross and Azzura has advantage.
Azzura gets safe leeward ..
and is pointing higher. Back onto starboard and it gets closer.
On port All4one must tack
out of that position.
Azzura now has a boat length lead. Azzura leads around the top mark.
All4one very close behind.
Azzura gets the Jenniker up quickly. All4one is just a few seconds back.

a large lead.
Around the top mark Azzura can
afford a leisurely raise.
