Who will be the second challenger for the Prada Cup final? The Italians and the Americans are sailing for this spot

The British Ineos Team UK is seeded for the final of the challengers, the Prada Cup, thanks to its commanding victory in the Round Robins. It will be decided there on 17 February who will compete against the New Zealanders in the America's Cup.

The Italian team Luna Rossa and Team American Magic are currently sailing for second place in the final of the Prada Cup. The Americans were unable to compete in the second part of the round robin because they capsized spectacularly and the boat was badly damaged. However, "Patriot" was repaired and has already returned to training.

The semi-final races start at 3.00 pm New Zealand time (3.00 am German time). Two races per day are planned. A minimum of four races and a maximum of seven will be sailed. If a team wins four races, it will join the British team in the final of the Prada Cup.

All races will be broadcast live free of charge and can be viewed on the Cup website , on Youtube and Facebook to track. No extra app is required for mobile devices. The replays will be made available on these channels immediately after the end of each race.
