Four teams are on one point, while the British yacht INEOS Britania and France's Orient Express Racing have yet to put points on the board after the first day's racing in the preliminary round of the America's Cup, which opened in Barcelona on Thursday.
   
The Swiss team Alinghi Red Bull Racing beat France's Orient Express Racing Team in the first heat with helmsman Maxime Bachelin expressing satisfaction at the win.

The second regatta between cup-holders, Emirates Team New Zealand against Italy's Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli was a none-event after the Italian boat suffered an electrical problem which shut them down for 20 seconds to force them out of the race.

New York Yacht Club (NYYC) American Magic defeated INEOS Britannia 29 seconds after taking advantage of a big wind shift and then protecting their lead.

The day's final race was an easy win for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli after France's Orient Express Racing Team fell off their foils before the pre-start, picking up penalties for several infractions to allow the Italians to take a decisive early lead, which they extended to win by a minute and 33 seconds.
