American Magic Sails to Victory Over New Zealand in Final Round Robin Race

American Magic secured a clear victory over Emirates Team New Zealand in the US team's final Louis Vuitton preliminary regatta race. The race win came after a great overnight repair job by the American Magic shore crew, ensuring that Patriot was in peak condition for the race.

With seamless sailing and clear communication onboard, the team executed their strategy, delivering a performance that boosted their confidence as they head into the next stage of the competition.

Paul Goodison added: "It's a different day again today, with a more pronounced easterly and a lot more waves than we've sailed in over the last couple of days. Lighter winds, which we're expecting more of come the finals. We had a great day racing the defenders, who were unbeaten so far. They're the class act at the moment, so they'll never be easy. But we had a great race. We sailed really well, managed to get a good start, and then we kind of controlled the race from there. So it's really positive, especially after the little disappointment yesterday."
