From the following article submitted to Sail-World by Richard Gladwell:

Emirates Team New Zealand ran away to their biggest win of the Louis Vuitton Cup regatta with a 7m 19 second margin at the finish of Round Robin 4, Race 1 and has emerged as the winner of the Round Robin phase.
After apparently hitting the bottom of the harbour just after launching, the Italian boat was re-hoisted and had her rudders checked.
