As INEOS Britannia and Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli headed into the first day of the Louis Vuitton Cup Finals they knew both everything and nothing about each other. Having gone head to head in the Round Robin stage of the Challenger Selection series a few weeks ago they had found out how their opponents ticked. But since then the British and Italian teams haven't squared up to each other for over a fortnight. Two weeks in which their boats and their sailing styles are likely to have changed. So, as they headed out for the first of the finals and faced top end conditions, there was lots to discover....for all of us!
Matt Sheahan was there.
