 VALENCIA, Spain (AP) - American entry BMW Oracle Racing rallied to beat Italian boat Luna Rossa on Tuesday to even its best-of-nine Louis Vuitton Cup semifinal series after two flights.
The Italians, who won the first flight Monday, were first out of the start before the Americans drew within a boat's length on the final lap. BMW Oracle Racing skipper Chris Dickson gybed to a port course tack halfway down the final lap and then held on to cross the finish line 13 seconds ahead.
"I am just in awe of what the guys did — the guys did an absolutely fantastic job," BMW Oracle Racing syndicate owner and afterguard Larry Ellison said.
