I couldn't wait until Thursday to inform you that Emirates Team New Zealand wins the second part of the Louis Vuitton Trophy, which has took place in Auckland from 9 to 21 March. The other team having reached the finals is the Italian Mascalzone Latino, which lost 2 out of 3 final regattas. Just recall that ETNZ just won the first part of the Trophy, the Round Robin.
