VALENCIA, Spain – American entry BMW Oracle Racing posted its third straight win as the Louis Vuitton Cup racing series resumed Sunday after five of the previous six days had been postponed due to a lack of wind.

BMW Oracle Racing improved its record to 3-0 by defeating Shosholoza of South Africa. Also remaining undefeated was Italian boat Luna Rossa, which won against United Internet Team Germany. The afternoon's fourth flight was postponed until Monday after a drop in wind.

The Louis Vuitton Cup, which runs through June 11, will decide which of the challengers will sail against America's Cup champion Alinghi in the final from June 23-July 4.

Shosholoza led before losing a kite when rounding the second wind marker. A poor tack allowed the Americans a chance to cross and establish a starboard course and take the lead for good on the third lap on the northern “Romeo” course.

Victory Challenge of Sweden won its second race of the first round-robin stage on “Romeo,” beating winless China Team.

On the southern “Juliet” course, Emirates Team New Zealand rebounded from an opening-flight loss to Italian team Mascalzone Latino with a convincing victory over winless +39 Challenge, which was racing with its repaired mast for the first time.

Desafio Espanol of Spain appeared to lose a spinnaker pole as it rounded the second marker before losing the lead and the race to Areva Challenge by 2 minutes, 6 seconds.

Racing comes after organizers and the body representing the 11 challengers altered the racing schedule for the second time after unstable weather had postponed eight flights of sailing. The first round-robin stage will be sailed until all 20 match races are completed and the second stage, consisting of one flight a day, will finish by May 9.

Organizers selected Valencia as host city in part because of its consistent weather. Alinghi, is from landlocked Switzerland, which led to the move to the Spanish city.

“We've done analysis and statistics and Valencia has always been the best place, but we have a very special situation here,” America's Cup Management president Michel Bonnefous said Sunday. “The data we have for April is very good and very reliable.”
