Luna Rossa put up a little more fight, but were still no match for Team UK in race two. Ineos Team UK struggled to just finish races in the America's Cup World Series in late December, but today came flying out of the gates for the Prada Cup with two wins on the opening day of racing. It was the dream start for Team UK, who got the luck of the conditions on day one. After a smart start from Ainslie landed Team UK on the right side of the course, they took the upper hand early over Luna Rossa and never relinquished it. In the two races, Team UK didn't trail at a single gate and reached speeds of up to 43 knots.
