At last and in light conditions that held for just long enough to see all the races run their full course, the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup got underway.

With four lost days and by a pure coincidence, Flights 1 & 2 were run on the first reserve day which gave the Challenger commission the opportunity to restart Louis Vuitton Round Robin 1 from scratch - which is precisely what has been agreed.

The programme will now be sequential, as if it had started on Friday and Saturday's racing will be flight 3 & 4.

Here's who's meeting who, along with our star rating.
