Oracle vs Alinghi: Oracle Lead in America’s Cup 2 — Sources said that in the 2nd race of 33rd America’s Cup 2held on Sunday, U.S. challengers BMW oracle have built a commanding lead.

Software mogul Larry Ellison’s hi-tech trimaran, holding a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three duel, surged past the Swiss catamaran at the end of the first leg.

Two of its three carbon fiber hulls soaring clear of the water beneath its wing-shaped sail, BMW Oracle blasted down the second leg of the 39 nautical mile course at speeds of up to 30 knots. Ellison’s boat led by more than 2km at the second mark.

Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi had a miserable race, incurring a penalty before the start and then appearing to make another error at the first mark after leading by more than 500 meters.

Light winds forced officials to delay the start by more than six hours, the boats crossing the start line just minutes before the time limit for the day expired.
