Todays racing in the Americas Cup final was about as good as it gets with an awesome battle between Emirates Team NZ and Oracle Team USA and both boats sharing the points.
Oracle showed that their continued improvement has put them right on the pace with Team NZ, and they took the first race of the day in convincing style, however Team NZ fought back in the second race to take a narrow victory after a classic battle. Who said AC72 cats couldn’t match race?
Todays win takes Team NZ, with SLMASC’s Adam Beashel aboard, within just 2 wins of completing their mission and making sailing history. It’s not over by a long shot though, and with Oracle’s significant improvement over the last few races they will be sure to throw everything at Team NZ in an effort to claw their way back into the series.
Don’t miss races 11 and 12 from 6am on Wednesday morning (Sunshine Time) with the awesome race coverage continuing on Foxtel and You Tube. If Team NZ can chalk up two more wins on Wednesday they will deservedly take out the 34th Americas Cup ….. so don’t miss any of the action.
