Italy's Luna Rossa is one victory away from advancing to the America's Cup challenger finals and another go-round with powerhouse Emirates Team New Zealand. That means Artemis Racing is one loss away from going home after just four races in a regatta that was marred when Andrew "Bart" Simpson was killed in a capsize of the syndicate's first boat on May 9.
Helmsman Chris Draper made a clutch move right before the start and sailed Luna Rossa's 72-foot catamaran to victory over Artemis Racing on Friday and a 3-0 lead in the America's Cup challenger semifinals. Luna Rossa can wrap up the best-of-seven series Saturday on San Francisco Bay and earn a berth in the Louis Vuitton Cup final against the Kiwis.
