In their last event for the 2011 calendar year, the America’s Cup World Series breezed into San Diego Bay last month for their first American stop in the series. Although ORACLE Racing’s James Spithill took the event’s first ever double win (match and fleet racing) they are second overall in the series to Emirates Team New Zealand (seen on right) after three events as the top of the leaderboard is separated by just one point, showcasing how tight the racing has been.
