The Challenger's Cup finishes the last flight of the first round robin. OneWorld wins again. The surprise was Oracle BMW losing to the British boat. The purpose of having so many challenger races is not to just to find out who is fastest, but to give everyone a chance to improve their boats and crews. Some get faster faster than others.

OneWorld has one make-up race with Oracle BMW to be raced to be raced Saturday (North America time). Round Robin two starts on the 22nd.
