After Day 5's cancellation of racing due to in-clement weather, the Louis Vuitton Cup schedule got right back on track with five races completed in a shifting 6-10 knot thermal southerly breeze that challenged the sailors. The big story of the day was Alinghi Red Bull Racing, a team that at their own admission has had a ‘reset', scoring their second win of the regatta, to now move off the bottom-step in the rankings, with the very real prospect of a safe passage through to the semi-final stage.

In their race today against New York Yacht Club American Magic, the Swiss were sublime. Capitalising on some uncharacteristic manoeuvre execution errors, and a penalty in the pre-start awarded against the Americans, Alinghi Red Bull Racing sailed a super-clean race, showing pace and bravery to never be headed after the start. Such was the confidence in their speed, the Swiss were able to use every ounce of their tactical and wind-spotting nous to dominate, in a textbook match-race.
