Luna Rossa (L) has moved into a strong position to challenge Team New Zealand for the America’s Cup
AUCKLAND – “Super happy” Luna Rossa moved into a strong position to challenge Team New Zealand for the coveted America’s Cup by taking a 4-0 lead in the challenger series final in Auckland on Sunday.
But it was unclear when the next races in the best-of-13 series would be held, after Auckland was placed in lockdown late Sunday following a fresh coronavirus outbreak.
“As a result of the government announcement of a level three lockdown in Auckland, initially for 72 hours, the next scheduled race day on Wednesday has been postponed,” organisers said in a statement.
They added that there would be a meeting with authorities in the next few days to work out the ramifications.
