BMW Oracle has notched up a convincing win over Damiani Italia in Tuesday morning's first race on day five of the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour.

Russell Coutts has skippered BMW Oracle to victory by 55 seconds and taken the top position of Pool A.

The water was quite flat but the breeze was blowing over 10 knots so the boats got up to good speeds.

Team Shosholoza, desperate for their maiden win of this regatta, are up against America's Cup holders Alinghi in the second race of the day.
