Summary Team New Zealand dominated on day two of the America's Cup World Series in Naples.

Team New Zealand showed why they were the class of the fleet by winning both races on the second day of the Americas Cup series in Naples.Dean Barkers crew are now on 38 points, nine points ahead of rival James Spithall and his Oracle boat.We were really happy with the way we sailed, Barker said. We just sort of got clear; having a clear lane and things is a pretty nice thing when you consider putting the bow down and let it rip a little bit.We try and picked a couple of shifts which the guys are doing well and I felt like we had good speed.All in all were very pleased with the way it went. Its certainly a lot easier when you get out in front than when youre back in the middle trying to work your way forwards.The local favourites, the two Luna Rossa Challenge crews, enjoyed a good afternoon with each boat claiming a second-place finish.The Luna Rossa - Piranha team are now in third place overall on 27 points, the same as Team Korea who are sitting in fifth.
