"We seriously thought about the semi-final race for more and begin to get longer run times below the belt," Barker said on the website of the regatta after the victory against the Italians three minutes 21 seconds.

"But we also have a lot of work to do for our boat, many changes and modifications to improve performance.

"It takes time, so we take the next time, to make changes, and we look forward to against anyone, we will run in the finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup."

Barker said his team would not begin their round-robin finale Tuesday against Swedish challenger Artemis, do not have their tails at all, after they were forced to leave their boat to second fatal training accident reconstruction in May.

Artemis just launched their enormous AC72 catamaran last week and had already indicated they would prefer to spend their time on testing and not aligned in the race until the Louis Vuitton semi-finals starts against Luna Rossa 6 August

"In terms of the competition before the semi-finals, which might be a bit too far," said Artemis skipper Iain Percy.

"One should never say never, but one thing that is important for us to continue to focus on safety. We suffered a terrible accident and we need to take small steps and progress at our own pace.

"It's great to be practicing on the track, just go out and see the boats and have a look at the boot sequence is a good exercise, but we do not want to run before you can walk."

The winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup will be on hold for the Oracle America's Cup beginning on 7 Be September.<a href="https://www.michaelkorsbagoutletsale.com/?" target="new">mk bags outlet</a>    5/9  --
