:00:53. > :00:58.The America's Cup has a long tradition of producing dramatic
:00:58. > :01:07.moments as sailors compete to be crowned the best. 162 years ago, the
:01:07. > :01:13.schooner America won the first race around the Isle of Wight. The cup
:01:13. > :01:19.was christened there and then. Three years ago, Oracle Team USA won the
:01:19. > :01:26.cup. The campaign, skippered by James Spithill, was bankrolled by a
:01:27. > :01:30.billionaire. As holders, or the defender, they get to make the
:01:30. > :01:35.rules, choose the venue and design the boats for the very next event.
:01:35. > :01:38.The idea is that the boats are as close as possible in design, so it
:01:39. > :01:51.is a real test for the crew on board. The boats for this cup are 72
:01:51. > :01:59.metres long, the catamarans are known as the AC 72s. Foils lift them
:01:59. > :02:04.out of the water, accelerating them to speeds of up to 50mph. It's
:02:04. > :02:14.produced some of the most exciting racing ever seen. Two boats hurtling
:02:14. > :02:16.towards each other with no brakes, scarily close racing on the very
:02:16. > :02:28.edge. And sometimes over. New Zealand are what's known as the
:02:29. > :02:33.challenger. In an early series of racing, they won the right to face
:02:33. > :02:39.the Americans when they saw off competition from Sweden and Italy.
:02:39. > :02:46.So, at the start of this regatta, they were match fit. The Americans
:02:46. > :02:53.had no warm-up event so they made up their own, building two identical
:02:53. > :02:55.boats, racing against each other. One skippered by James Spithill, the
:02:55. > :03:02.other by Sir Ben Ainslie. More on One skippered by James Spithill, the
:03:02. > :03:06.him later. After three years of development, both teams were very
:03:06. > :03:12.evenly matched. It was too close to call. But days before the start,
:03:12. > :03:17.Team USA found themselves two points behind. A jury decided the team had
:03:17. > :03:24.broken the rules in an earlier competition. That put them at minus
:03:24. > :03:27.two on the scoreboard. Nevertheless, the most eagerly-anticipated
:03:27. > :03:47.America's Cup began. The first race went New Zealand's
:03:47. > :03:57.way. In fact, they won three out of the first four. By the fifth,
:03:57. > :04:00.America looked second best. This is really interesting tactics by
:04:00. > :04:09.Oracle. I don't know what they are doing right now. The situation
:04:09. > :04:13.looked critical. It had come to a head. With no points on board, they
:04:13. > :04:24.took an unprecedented step and substituted their tactician for Ben
:04:24. > :04:28.Ainslie. Could a British knight rescue an America's Cup campaign? It
:04:28. > :04:33.is like taking over somebody's science project the day before the
:04:33. > :04:41.exam so I had to do a lot of swatting to get up to speed with the
:04:41. > :04:45.different software we have. With the most decorated Olympic sailor ever
:04:45. > :04:58.on board, it was set up for a fairytale comeback. But no-one told
:04:58. > :05:04.Dean Barker and his crew. You can be a rooster one day and a feather
:05:04. > :05:11.duster the next! By race eight, the Kiwis were in for a massive shock.
:05:11. > :05:30.New Zealand almost capsized. Oh my gosh! Oh my goodness! By race nine,
:05:30. > :05:33.Team USA could now chase into New Zealand's lead. Impressive from
:05:33. > :05:40.start to finish, with the fastest race time of the series. Race number
:05:40. > :05:48.nine, day number six of the 34th America's Cup belongs to the
:05:48. > :05:53.Americans. Too much wind and too much tide had caused chaos to the
:05:53. > :05:58.race schedule. With a 7-1 lead, New Zealand seemed to sail through it.
:05:58. > :06:01.In race 11, Dean Barker's crew passed the Americans upwind and
:06:01. > :06:09.moved within one point of winning the regatta. The question is imagine
:06:09. > :06:16.if these guys lost from here, what an upset that would be. Race 13
:06:16. > :06:22.proved unlucky for New Zealand as they looked to wrap up the series.
:06:22. > :06:27.No wind, no speed, it was like racing in slow motion! Agonisingly
:06:27. > :06:36.in sight of the finish line, cup success was two minutes away. The
:06:37. > :06:44.time has expired so this race has been abandoned. The rule is the race
:06:44. > :06:50.must be completed in 40 minutes. The Kiwis haven't won a race since. Team
:06:50. > :06:54.USA's fightback from 8-1 down has piled the pressure on New Zealand
:06:54. > :07:00.who have to bear the weight of an expectant nation. Where I come from,
:07:00. > :07:17.it is enormous. It is outrating the All Blacks. Yesterday, the cracks
:07:17. > :07:25.were beginning to show. It's a foul! Come on! The Americans levelled the
:07:25. > :07:29.series. Their seventh race win in a row is a new record and this 34th
:07:30. > :07:39.edition of the cup is only the third time there's been a winner-takes-all
:07:39. > :07:46.showdown. One of the mysteries of this America's Cup is how Team USA
:07:46. > :07:55.have turned their boat from slug to slippery. Their comeback has ignited
:07:55. > :07:59.a global television audience. That is what the billionaire owner
:07:59. > :08:07.wanted. It is a huge race when it comes to the history of sailing, a
:08:07. > :08:09.huge moment for both teams. So both teams must be hugely excited about
:08:09. > :08:15.huge moment for both teams. So both what is ahead. We are not going to
:08:15. > :08:19.leave anything in the tank. The boys find another level to go to every
:08:19. > :08:24.single day. Today I will ask for everything. Of course, they will
:08:24. > :08:28.deliver. Having never been behind, New Zealand have been stuck on match
:08:28. > :08:31.point for seven days. It is not just the 8-1 lead they have lost, they
:08:31. > :08:39.are Government-backed and there is no guarantee the taxpayer will fund
:08:39. > :08:43.another campaign if they lose. We have complete belief in our team and
:08:43. > :08:47.guys and we can win the race today. It's a big ask, the way the Oracle
:08:47. > :08:51.guys have been sailing. It will be very difficult. They have improved a
:08:51. > :08:55.huge amount. They are not unbeatable. We know that if we put
:08:55. > :09:02.together a solid performance, we can win the race. Obviously, a lot has
:09:02. > :09:08.been made about today. It is a monumental occasion for America's
:09:08. > :09:16.Cup. It will be remembered for a long, long time. We have to go about
:09:16. > :09:22.the business about we remembering it for the right reasons. To describe
:09:22. > :09:35.this final showdown, let's go to Todd Harris, Ken Reid and Gary
:09:35. > :09:51.Jobson. The current is flooding in so that makes the waves small. This
:09:51. > :09:55.is the race of the century. No question about it. More from Gary
:09:55. > :10:02.throughout the racing today. We have a flood tide, water coming into the
:10:02. > :10:07.Bay. Ken, it is not as strong as we have seen in the past? It will
:10:07. > :10:10.smooth the course out a bit. Emirates Team New Zealand think this
:10:10. > :10:15.smooth water is to their benefit. They don't like the chop. What this
:10:15. > :10:19.really makes a big difference with is in the start box. The weather
:10:19. > :10:28.towards the Golden Gate Bridge becomes more favoured when there is
:10:28. > :10:32.a big flood current like this. It is a subtle difference. You can make a
:10:32. > :10:39.case that the leader at mark one goes on to win this race. The
:10:39. > :10:41.obvious up-and-down one-and-a-half times up the San Francisco
:10:41. > :10:48.obvious up-and-down one-and-a-half waterfront to huge crowds and then
:10:48. > :10:55.to the - somebody will finally win the America's Cup here, Todd. So
:10:55. > :10:59.there you see the current, what it is doing. Oracle Team USA are
:11:00. > :11:11.already talking about what their tactics might be. I think it will be
:11:11. > :11:14.like yesterday. OK. We are not going to go to the shoreline and let it go
:11:14. > :11:19.like yesterday. OK. We are not going all the way. We don't want them to
:11:19. > :11:36.get on this side of us, do we? No. If he's gone that way... We are not
:11:36. > :11:40.rolling straightaway. There's the conversation, Ken. Care to decipher
:11:40. > :11:44.what they are talking about? With all the prep, with all the coaching,
:11:44. > :11:48.with all the work they do in the classroom looking at video, it is
:11:48. > :11:52.just like any other sailboat race, folks. Every one of us have been in
:11:52. > :11:55.that position before discussing if he does this, let's do that. They
:11:56. > :12:00.that position before discussing if are reinforcing strategy at this
:12:00. > :12:02.stage. We will bring you fantastic pictures, amazing audio throughout
:12:02. > :12:06.stage. We will bring you fantastic this race. The final race of the
:12:06. > :12:10.34th America's Cup as we take you on board both the defender, Oracle Team
:12:10. > :12:14.USA, and the challenger, Emirates Team New Zealand. We will try to
:12:14. > :12:18.identify the voices for you and let you know what key roles they play
:12:18. > :12:33.and there is Dean Barker, upper left of your screen.
:12:33. > :12:39.So the big thing today is Oracle Team USA have starboard entry and
:12:39. > :12:43.Emirates Team New Zealand have port entry. Gary, is that port entry
:12:43. > :12:47.going to be as big as it has been in the last few days? New Zealand's
:12:47. > :12:52.very lucky to have the port entry today. With this flood tide, you
:12:52. > :12:59.normally want to stay at the windward end in a line. Right now, I
:12:59. > :13:19.look for the boats to fight. So, at 2.10pm, the Americans will
:13:19. > :13:24.follow. This port attack entry has been favourable. Skippers on both
:13:24. > :13:28.teams think that to be able to enter the box ten seconds early to avoid
:13:28. > :13:31.these dangerous closing speeds is an advantage. Team New Zealand has
:13:31. > :13:53.locked out at the very beginning part of today's race.
:13:53. > :14:00.Here is where the tactician will start to feed information to the
:14:00. > :14:04.helmsman. Don't be shocked to know that the helmsman is totally in
:14:04. > :14:09.control here, using their instincts, setting up, not only to get to the
:14:09. > :14:11.line on time, but to try to get themselves in between the other boat
:14:11. > :14:30.and the first mark. One minute to go to the start. Team
:14:30. > :14:35.New Zealand has set themselves up very far down low in the box. Oracle
:14:35. > :14:38.is looking for a gap between the boats. It is called the gapping off.
:14:38. > :14:43.They might try to use that gap if they can get to the line at the same
:14:43. > :14:56.time to have a better angle to mark one and roll over the top. 35
:14:56. > :15:00.seconds, James Spithill shows like he is going to go for the hook and
:15:00. > :15:05.pulls it off! Trying to keep a bit of a gap at this stage. He has to
:15:05. > :15:10.try to just get better time and distance and roll over the top. That
:15:10. > :15:13.is their only chance at this stage. Team New Zealand is down low on this
:15:13. > :15:32.line. This is a dangerous spot for Emirates Team New Zealand right now.
:15:32. > :15:46.The wind is good, we are all-clear, race 19. One race for it all. Such a
:15:46. > :15:49.critical moment in this race. Beautiful job by New Zealand. The
:15:49. > :16:03.question is can they hold the overlap? Emirates Team New Zealand
:16:03. > :16:10.gets the hold shot. Oracle takes a big dip. How much will that hurt
:16:10. > :16:12.them? Both boats got really loose at that mark. This is incredible
:16:12. > :16:42.already. Oracle up on their foils. You heard
:16:42. > :16:54.Ben Ainslie say, "Nice recovery. " The Kiwis just off to the right.
:16:54. > :17:00.Again, another crucial moment. Team New Zealand did not jibe right away
:17:00. > :17:12.with Oracle, so therefore it is a Drag Race. Oracle is inching away at
:17:12. > :17:18.that lead. Let's check in on the water with Gary. Oracle Team USA
:17:18. > :17:22.really hit a bad wave and lost it. Boy, are they sailing fast. They
:17:22. > :17:29.have just gone right by us. Oracle have a bit more speed. The big
:17:29. > :17:34.question for James Spithill - can he block the wind of New Zealand? They
:17:34. > :17:36.trail by 40 metres. This is a winner-takes-all at the 34th
:17:36. > :17:57.America's Cup. Flat out Drag Race of two very even
:17:57. > :18:01.boats right now, Todd. The boundary will be coming into play shortly. I
:18:01. > :18:11.don't think Oracle will have the time to roll over the top. Almost a
:18:11. > :18:16.simultaneous jibe as both boats decide to make the turn with the
:18:16. > :18:18.boundary on their left. A boat length apart, 41 knots going into
:18:18. > :18:32.that. Really, when you are behind, you put
:18:32. > :18:38.a lot of pressure on and make the leading boat nervous. These are
:18:38. > :18:42.sights and sounds that nobody in sailing ever dreamt we would see.
:18:42. > :18:47.This is just a new sport that we are witnessing here in the 34th
:18:47. > :18:54.America's Cup. They are travelling about 40 knots, which is 46mph
:18:54. > :19:01.downwind here on leg two of five. Ken, this will be a very fast race
:19:01. > :19:19.with the winds blowing around 18-19 knots.
:19:19. > :19:24.Emirates on the left, Oracle Team USA on the right as they approach
:19:24. > :19:32.mark two. What are the options for the Kiwis? You are trying to stay in
:19:32. > :19:38.synch now. They were ahead at this stage yesterday and they allowed
:19:38. > :19:40.Oracle to split and get to the other mark. Don't let the split happen, go
:19:40. > :20:00.with them. Match them at this stage. Tom Slingsby calling out the times.
:20:00. > :20:06.It remains about a 65 metre lead for the Kiwis on the left of your
:20:06. > :20:08.screen. The Kiwis have done a great job in staying in sequence with
:20:08. > :20:26.these guys all the way down. I think Oracle will go for a split
:20:26. > :20:39.here. At gate two, the Americans will split the course yet again.
:20:39. > :20:44.Man, is this setting up exactly like the second race yesterday. Team New
:20:44. > :20:49.Zealand will come out of the right-hand side and they will start
:20:49. > :20:53.using that cone to their advantage. Let's see what Oracle does at this
:20:53. > :21:00.stage. At this point, the Americans have taken the lead by 20 metres.
:21:00. > :21:15.They are down one tack. So still a lot to play for here. Watch him.
:21:15. > :21:21.As the American lead reaches 69 metres, Gary, who has the right
:21:21. > :21:27.spot? Where is the sweet spot on this course? Position-wise, Emirates
:21:27. > :21:30.Team New Zealand have the advantage. But they are sailing so slow right
:21:30. > :21:34.now, they have to kick it up a notch if they want to hold on. Here comes
:21:35. > :21:40.the moment of truth. This is the moment of truth. Oracle will be
:21:40. > :21:47.dipping at this stage, then they will have the starboard tack
:21:47. > :21:58.advantage. This is the race that we dreamt of. On the cross, the Kiwis
:21:58. > :22:00.take the lead back. The Kiwis are allowed to cross ahead of Oracle at
:22:00. > :22:09.that stage. Oracle is heading for less current,
:22:09. > :22:26.New Zealand is heading for more. As the Kiwis tack on the far left
:22:27. > :22:30.side of the course, the Americans stay on course with good speed and
:22:30. > :22:40.this will close the gap substantially. This is where Oracle
:22:40. > :22:46.turned on the after-burners yesterday. It was speed that we have
:22:46. > :22:53.never seen out of an AC72 upwind. Let's see if they have it in them
:22:53. > :22:58.again today. Starboard tack advantage to Oracle as the cross
:22:58. > :23:02.comes yet again. They are almost dead even on the water as we go on
:23:02. > :23:17.board Oracle Team USA. A big cross, with the Americans
:23:17. > :23:21.having the right of way. They will make the cross. I don't think Team
:23:21. > :23:27.New Zealand had to duck at that stage. That means that is about a
:23:27. > :23:31.three boat-length gain in the last minute-and-a-half. That is a big
:23:31. > :23:37.jump for Oracle. We will learn a lot about boat speed here. If USA
:23:37. > :23:44.continues to gain, they are a lot faster boat. Leg three of five,
:23:44. > :23:49.approaching the halfway point of this race. This one is for all the
:23:49. > :23:59.marbles, the 34th America's Cup will go to the winner of this race.
:23:59. > :24:09.That is the voice of Tom Slingsby, the strategist on Oracle. He says
:24:09. > :24:16.they are crossing if he tacks. This is another huge moment.
:24:16. > :24:26.Wow! Not just a cross, another couple of boat lengths for Oracle.
:24:26. > :24:33.This is looking familiar. What are the Americans doing right? What are
:24:33. > :24:43.the Kiwis doing wrong? Boat speed. A tactician's best friend. Dig into
:24:43. > :24:55.this one a little. Copy. Don't be afraid to be a little faster, guys.
:24:55. > :24:57.As we take a look overhead at Emirates Team New Zealand, what is
:24:57. > :25:02.As we take a look overhead at their strategy now with less than a
:25:02. > :25:06.race to go? If they go any slower, you have to keep the other boat
:25:06. > :25:10.tacking and try and have them make a mistake. If your speed is even, you
:25:10. > :25:16.go straight. If you are slower, make a manoeuvre. Those arrows indicating
:25:16. > :25:34.the flood tide, the current coming in from the Pacific. Emirates are
:25:34. > :25:46.holding a 25 knot speed. This is it. As commentated by Mr Ben Ainslie.
:25:46. > :25:51.Todd, these guys are smoking upwind. They are foiling almost all the
:25:51. > :25:56.time. Something that we rarely saw at the beginning of this event.
:25:56. > :26:22.Every single race, they have been out of the water. They are using it
:26:22. > :26:34.to their advantage. The lead is now 162 metres. They get around the top
:26:34. > :26:38.mark, there is no wind under there after that point. It peaked at 27.7
:26:38. > :26:50.knots. Right now, that has to be advantage
:26:50. > :26:55.to Oracle Team USA. These guys are down the road. Gary, it is windy out
:26:55. > :26:58.there, isn't it? It is getting windier, particularly at the top end
:26:58. > :27:04.of the course. It is hard to see that.
:27:04. > :27:18.These guys have done everything right in this race.
:27:18. > :27:27.Nice move by Oracle to cover and push them back. Well done there. Ben
:27:27. > :27:33.Ainslie, the tactician on board Oracle Team USA, the man on the
:27:33. > :28:32.far-right of your screen, he is a four-time Olympic gold medallist.
:28:32. > :28:44.Folks, this is a role reversal what we saw a couple of days ago. Now,
:28:44. > :28:50.the roles are reversed. Look at the boat speed - it was almost 30 knots
:28:50. > :28:56.for Oracle and 25, 26 for Emirates Team New Zealand. I give the design
:28:56. > :29:02.team a lot of credit, the shore team. They have stuck with these
:29:02. > :29:11.guys and given them a faster boat at this stage.
:29:11. > :29:17.Let's not forget, Emirates Team New Zealand, three or four times over
:29:17. > :29:21.the last couple of days have been able to close the race down on leg
:29:21. > :29:25.four to less than 100 metres. If the Americans think they have this
:29:25. > :29:32.wrapped up, give them a pep talk. You know Dean Barker will throw it
:29:32. > :29:41.at them? There is zero quit in these guys. Would you look at that? Talk
:29:41. > :29:48.about demoralising. Just gone. Gary, this is - every time they leave the
:29:48. > :29:54.dock, they seem faster? They made some improvements since we saw them
:29:54. > :29:59.yesterday. It is an impressive sightseeing their foil upwind. Great
:29:59. > :30:13.work, boys. Just get on the foil and then we'll
:30:14. > :30:18.do it. A really big wind up at that windward gate. Oracle have to be
:30:18. > :30:24.careful. They can't make a mistake. As we saw during the Louis Vuitton
:30:24. > :30:28.Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand almost taking the whole thing over.
:30:28. > :30:34.No harm, no foul, but to Gary's point, with a 13-storey wing, you
:30:34. > :30:39.have to be pretty careful. Team New Zealand is going 27, 28 knots
:30:39. > :30:45.upwind. That is almost 30% more faster than they went in the Louis
:30:45. > :30:51.Vuitton Cup. Unbelievable speed gains. Makes me wonder, Ken, maybe
:30:51. > :31:01.they were a bit conservative on the start knowing they were that fast.
:31:01. > :31:12.Not James Spithill has ever been conservative at anything, Gary! --
:31:12. > :31:28.not sure James Spithill has ever been conservative at anything, Gary!
:31:28. > :31:35.It is miracle time for Emirates Team New Zealand. Like Gary said, they
:31:35. > :31:43.have to flip this boat over at this stage. It is such a big lead. At
:31:43. > :31:48.gate three, we will bring them home uninterrupted. It is Oracle Team USA
:31:48. > :31:52.with a huge lead, two more legs and the Americans will retain the cup
:31:52. > :31:56.and for Team New Zealand, they have to find some wind and some speed if
:31:56. > :32:19.they want to take the cup to New Zealand. The boat just about takes
:32:19. > :32:27.off at the top gate. They went for it there, Kenny! Oh, man. Gate
:32:27. > :32:32.three, the Kiwis are looking for something, anything, to get them
:32:32. > :32:43.back in touch with Oracle Team USA. They make the turn at gate three and
:32:43. > :32:48.they are 26 seconds behind. The boundary and the wind direction is
:32:48. > :32:58.working to their disadvantage. They will have to jive very quickly. The
:32:58. > :33:02.lead is almost 500 metres. The Kiwis are way over on the boundary. At
:33:02. > :33:09.this stage of the game, nothing to lose.
:33:09. > :33:14.Really good pressure from here. Gary, all kinds of records will be
:33:14. > :33:19.talked about when this one is done, which ever way it goes. This is one
:33:19. > :33:25.for the books? Not only the longest cup, certainly the fastest cup. By
:33:25. > :33:30.my clock, Oracle Team USA is ahead of the record by 30 seconds. Let's
:33:30. > :33:33.not forget, it was four days ago, folks, that Emirates Team New
:33:33. > :33:36.Zealand had the lead with eight wins in their pocket. They made the turn
:33:36. > :33:40.Zealand had the lead with eight wins on the last leg four minutes away
:33:40. > :33:44.from winning the America's Cup and the whistle was blown, the time
:33:44. > :33:48.limit of 40 minutes had expired and the race was wiped clean. It is
:33:48. > :33:59.getting lighter. The last successful defence of the
:33:59. > :34:04.cup was in 1992. One thing in common with this cup, there was a Kirby on
:34:04. > :34:22.board. You talk about the speed of the
:34:22. > :34:26.Kiwis. They had it when they won the Louis Vuitton Cup three weeks' ago.
:34:26. > :34:29.They had it at the start of the 34th America's Cup. Where has that speed
:34:29. > :34:35.gone? I don't think it's gone anywhere. The other guys have put
:34:35. > :34:40.the jets on. A lot of time and effort has gone into designing the
:34:41. > :34:44.technology that creates these boats. Vertical learning curves have been
:34:44. > :34:54.talked about all the time. They get better every day. Oracle have just
:34:54. > :35:04.got better faster. Makes me wonder whether we will see these boats
:35:04. > :35:13.again. They are the vision of Larry Ellison and Russell Cootes. A lot of
:35:13. > :35:21.people said it would never work and it won't be exciting. Here we are,
:35:21. > :35:24.breaking down barriers. Never have we seen anything like that, the epic
:35:24. > :35:34.breaking down barriers. Never have comeback continues. Is that a smile?
:35:35. > :35:40.James Spithill, the skipper and helmsman on board Oracle Team USA.
:35:40. > :35:47.He's Australian by birth. He is bringing this thing home. We can see
:35:47. > :35:54.gate four in the distance. Watch the pressure on the backside of
:35:54. > :35:58.Alcatraz. It is not bad to have five Olympic gold medals standing behind
:35:58. > :36:07.you and giving you information. Not bad at all(!)
:36:07. > :36:18.We will get lighter from here. Keep working it. There is a smile. We
:36:18. > :36:26.will get softer here, guys. Don't smile yet, Jimmy.
:36:26. > :36:32.For more than ten days, James Spithill sat down at press
:36:33. > :36:40.conference after press conference and he said, "We can still win this.
:36:40. > :36:47." At 8-1, he said, "We believe we can come back and win this. " We had
:36:47. > :36:59.a conversation, "What was wrong with him?" They have both had incredible
:36:59. > :37:02.streaks. They both handled their press conferences, the pressure,
:37:02. > :37:07.with incredible poise. We have to take our hats off to both. If you
:37:07. > :37:10.are going to go out here, New Zealand did a really good race. They
:37:10. > :37:14.got the lead at the second gate. What else could they have done? They
:37:14. > :37:19.are just a bit slower. At the end of the day, it is always the faster
:37:19. > :37:23.boat that will win and tacticians aside, over the last eight races, it
:37:23. > :37:26.has been Oracle Team USA. Just to continue on with what Ken was
:37:27. > :37:32.talking about, if this stands the way it is, this will hurt for
:37:32. > :37:39.Emirates Team New Zealand and the nation. I will say this: Dean Barker
:37:39. > :37:43.and Ray Davies and the crew are some of the classiest men you will ever
:37:43. > :37:49.come across. At mark four, Oracle Team USA make the turn for home. I
:37:49. > :37:58.never thought I would say this. Oracle will win the America's Cup.
:37:58. > :38:05.This is incredible. So what was done as a race for redemption, it looked
:38:05. > :38:09.like it was on course as Emirates Team New Zealand led 8-1. One more
:38:09. > :38:13.victory and the cup was being shipped off to Auckland, New
:38:13. > :38:18.Zealand. Here we are, a week later, all even at 8 and it is Oracle Team
:38:18. > :38:26.USA that are moment s away from keeping the cup. -- moments away
:38:26. > :38:44.from keeping the cup. The Stars and Stripes say it all.
:38:44. > :39:00.The comeback of 2014 is complete. America's Cup will stay in America!
:39:00. > :39:26.As the celebration commences on the shores here in San Francisco for the
:39:27. > :39:31.home team, Emirates Team New Zealand comes across the line with eight
:39:31. > :39:34.wins, one short for more than a week, their final Delta in excess of
:39:35. > :40:17.43 seconds. A fly-buy like no other. -- a fly-by
:40:17. > :40:26.like no other. The America's Cup will stay with Oracle Team USA. Man,
:40:26. > :40:32.what a race. This had everything. There are a few spectators out here.
:40:32. > :40:39.We almost lost you there. I'm still here. James Spithill, two-time
:40:39. > :40:43.America's Cup champion skipper. Pretty rarefied air. How does that
:40:43. > :40:47.feel? Oh, mate. It is about the team. On your own, you are nothing.
:40:47. > :40:51.When you have a team like this around you, they can make you look
:40:51. > :40:55.great. They did all of that today in the whole series. I'm so proud of
:40:55. > :41:02.the boys, man. A fantastic team effort. Heartbreak for Dean Barker
:41:02. > :41:08.who couldn't compete with the blistering speeds and skill of the
:41:08. > :41:13.USA. Very frustrating. When you think back two weeks, the opposite
:41:13. > :41:18.was true. We had - the gains they have made have been phenomenal.
:41:18. > :41:22.Great credit to those guys. They have done an amazing job to sort
:41:22. > :41:26.their boat out and probably a good thing for us they didn't do it
:41:26. > :41:33.earlier! I'm incredibly proud of our team and what they have achieved.
:41:33. > :41:41.I'm gutted that we couldn't get the last win that we needed to take this
:41:41. > :41:46.cup back to New Zealand. It's very hard to swallow. A triumphant win
:41:46. > :41:52.for James Spithill, completing one of the most exhilarating comebacks
:41:52. > :41:58.in the history of the sport. I can tell you one thing - it is an
:41:58. > :42:02.incredible te standing behind me. We have faced a lot of challenges. We
:42:02. > :42:05.came together as a team, but there is one key ingredient we couldn't
:42:05. > :42:09.have done it without all of your support. Thank you very much. This
:42:09. > :42:13.is a team that never ever gives up. We fight all the way to the end. I
:42:13. > :42:18.tell you, every single day we were winning races, all you guys are
:42:18. > :42:22.coming down to support us, all that good energy, it got through. It
:42:22. > :42:29.really affected the guys. We are in debt to you guys. Thank you very
:42:29. > :42:38.much. Still, the defender of the America's Cup, Oracle Team USA!
:42:38. > :42:50.# The world's gonna know your name... .. # Seven days ago at 8-1
:42:51. > :42:55.down, no-one could see this comeback. Full credit to James
:42:55. > :43:00.Spithill and his crew. The team boss has transformed this event. There
:43:00. > :43:04.was a revolutionary gain in boat speed, producing an on-water
:43:04. > :43:07.spectacle that produced heart stopping excitement. A nosedive at
:43:07. > :43:10.the start of the final race couldn't stop their record-breaking pursuit
:43:10. > :43:17.the start of the final race couldn't of glory. They are expensive, a
:43:17. > :43:22.winning campaign can cost at least $100 million. So will we see the
:43:22. > :43:26.AC72s again? In the meantime, back-to-back wins for the Americans
:43:26. > :43:31.and Spithill, but a first for Britain's Sir Ben Ainslie, who has
:43:31. > :43:35.now added America's Cup glory to his five Olympic medals. Can he now
:43:35. > :43:41.mount a British challenge for the 35th America's Cup?
