BARCELONA (Reuters) - Britain seized on an Italian pre-start slip-up in the America's Cup challenger series on Monday, taking a 3-2 lead in the battle to take on defenders New Zealand to lift the 'Auld Mug'.
With the breeze off Barcelona below the maximum level of 21 knots, race five of the series got under way promptly with both crews relishing the calmer seas than the previous day.
