On Tuesday afternoon, Alinghi successfully defended the America�s Cup for the Soci�t� Nautique de Gen�ve with a thrilling one second win in Race Seven over Emirates Team New Zealand. Alinghi wins the 32nd America�s Cup Match by a 5-2 score.

Light, unstable winds forced the Race Committee to postpone racing for the day on Sunday at the 32nd America�s Cup Match. High cloud started to form near noon, inhibiting the development of a sea breeze.
This is the first America’s Cup where there has been a choice of two turning marks at the bottom of the race course. The aim of the leeward gate was to create another passing opportunity for the trailing boat, and Alinghi took full advantage of that in y
