There were some exhausted looking crews at the end of Day 2 of the iShares Cup, after six grueling races were completed on another wet and wild day at Skandia Cowes Week. It was a day of close calls as Holmatro recovered from a near-capsize and Oman Sail crew had a lucky escape. Alinghi dominated with three race wins to extend their overall lead.
