It was a day to forget for Mascalzone Latino as they picked up a penalty and lost out in a tight contest with French challenger Areva in their first race of the day.

MAN OVERBOARD

They pushed the Kiwis all the way in their second race, which had been held over from Sunday.

As they came down the final leg they lost a crewman overboard after their spinnaker pole broke, though he managed to hang on to a rope to be hauled back on board. It was their fourth straight defeat.

Shosholoza recovered from Sunday's frustrating defeat to beat United Internet Team Germany by more than a minute. The South Africans stayed in the hunt for a top-four finish, moving on to 14 points level with Mascalzone Latino in sixth.

Areva completed a double on the day with a narrow win over +39 to go eighth with 13 points.

On Tuesday, the standout races will pit BMW Oracle against Shosholoza while in-form Areva test Desafio.

The top four boats after the second set of round robins progress to the semi-finals. The winners of the LV Cup go on to face Swiss defenders Alinghi for the Americas Cup at the end of June.
