:00:54. > :00:59.The America's Cup has a tradition producing dramatic moments as
:00:59. > :01:06.sailors compete to be crowned the best. 162 years ago the schooner
:01:06. > :01:11.America won the first race around the Isle of Wight. The Cup was Chris
:01:11. > :01:21.enned there and then. Three years ago Oracle won the Cup.
:01:21. > :01:28.The campaign was bank rolled by billionaire Mr Ellison. As the
:01:28. > :01:36.defender they get to make the rules, choose the venue and choose design
:01:36. > :01:42.the boats for the next event. It is a real test for the crew on board.
:01:43. > :01:56.The boats for this Cup are 72-metres long. The space age cat marans are
:01:56. > :02:00.known as AC72s. Foils lift them out of the water, abouting sell ng them
:02:00. > :02:07.to 50 miles per hour. It has produced some of the most exciting
:02:07. > :02:13.racing ever seen. Two boats hurtling towards each
:02:13. > :02:15.other, with no brakes. Very close, racing on the very edge and
:02:15. > :02:27.sometimes over. New Zealand are what's known as "the
:02:28. > :02:32.challenger. Oo I "the Kiwis won the right to face the Americans when
:02:32. > :02:37.they saw off competition from Sweden and Italy. So, at the start of this
:02:37. > :02:41.regatta, they were definitely match-fit.
:02:41. > :02:49.The Americans, on the other hand, had no warm-up event, so they made
:02:49. > :02:53.up their own, building two identical boats, racing against each other.
:02:53. > :02:57.One skippered by Jimmy Spithill, the other by Sir Ben Ainslie. More on
:02:58. > :03:02.him later. After three years of development,
:03:02. > :03:08.both teams were very evenly matched. It was too close to call. Just days
:03:08. > :03:12.before the start, Team USA found themselves two points behind. An
:03:12. > :03:16.international jury decided the team had broken the rules in an earlier
:03:16. > :03:24.competition. That put them at minus two on the score board.
:03:24. > :03:30.Nevertheless, the most eagerly anticipated America's Cup began.
:03:30. > :03:34.It is Oracle Team USA... They approach the line for the start of
:03:34. > :03:40.race number one of the 34th America's Cup.
:03:40. > :03:48.The first race went New Zealand's way. In fact, they won three out of
:03:48. > :03:55.the first four. By the fifth, America looked
:03:55. > :03:58.second-best. This is really interesting tactics by Oracle. I
:03:58. > :04:05.don't know what they are doing right now, to be honest.
:04:05. > :04:11.The situation looked critical. It had come to a head. With no points
:04:11. > :04:18.on board, they took an unprecedented step and substituted their tactician
:04:18. > :04:24.for Sir Ben Ainslie. Could a British knight rescue an American Cup
:04:24. > :04:28.campaign? Really it is like taking over somebody's science project the
:04:28. > :04:32.day before the exam, and you know, have to do a lot of swopping to get
:04:33. > :04:37.up to speed with the different software we have and the course
:04:37. > :04:42.management. With the most decorated Olympic
:04:42. > :04:48.sailor ever on board, it was set up for a fairytale comeback. No-one
:04:48. > :04:54.told Dean Barker and his crew. USA lost the next two races and trialled
:04:54. > :04:59.6-0 on the score board. You can be a rooster one day and a feather duster
:04:59. > :05:04.the next, mate! By race eight, the Kiwis were sailing on the crest of a
:05:04. > :05:07.wave, but were in for a massive shock. New Zealand almost capsized!
:05:07. > :05:20.Oh, my gosh! New Zealand have the right of way
:05:20. > :05:27.there. Oh, my goodness! By race nine, Team
:05:27. > :05:31.USA had cleared their penalty points and could chase into New Zealand's
:05:31. > :05:38.lead. Impressive from start to finish w the most impressive race
:05:38. > :05:42.time of the series. Day number six of the America's Cup belongs to the
:05:42. > :05:47.Americans. Too much wind and too much tide had
:05:47. > :05:52.already caused chaos to the race schedule. With a comfortable 7-1
:05:52. > :05:59.lead, New Zealand seemed to sail through it. In race 11 Dean Barker's
:05:59. > :06:04.crew passed the Americans upwind and moved within one point of winning
:06:04. > :06:12.the regatta. I think the question is; imagine if these guys lost from
:06:12. > :06:17.here - what an upset that would be! Race 13 proved unlucky for New
:06:17. > :06:23.Zealand as they looked to wrap up the series - no wind, no speed, it
:06:23. > :06:27.was like racing in slow motion. Agonisingly in sight of the finish
:06:28. > :06:33.line, Cup success was two minutes away.
:06:33. > :06:41.The race has been abandoned! The rule is the race must be
:06:41. > :06:47.completed in 40 minutes. The Kiwis have not won a race since.
:06:47. > :06:54.Team USA's fight back from 8-1 down has piled the pressure on New
:06:54. > :06:58.Zealand, who have to bear the weight of an expectant nation. It is
:06:58. > :07:01.outrating the All Blacks, which is something. Yesterday the cracks were
:07:01. > :07:19.really beginning to show. Come on!
:07:19. > :07:22.The Americans levelled the series. Their seventh race win in a row is a
:07:22. > :07:27.new record and this 34th edition of Their seventh race win in a row is a
:07:27. > :07:34.the Cup is only the third time there's been a win-takes-all
:07:34. > :07:39.showdown. One of the mysteries of this
:07:39. > :07:44.America's Cup is how Team USA have turned their boat from slug to
:07:44. > :07:46.slippery. Their incredible comeback has ignited a global audience. Glim
:07:47. > :07:53.ping the future of match racing at has ignited a global audience. Glim
:07:53. > :07:57.its highest level. That is what Larry Ellison wanted. It is a huge
:07:57. > :08:03.race when it comes to the history of sailing and the America's Cup. Such
:08:03. > :08:08.a long build-up and such an amazing series of racing. Both teams must be
:08:08. > :08:12.hugely excited about what is ahead. We'll not leave anything in the
:08:12. > :08:16.tank. I mean the boys, every single day, find another level to go to.
:08:16. > :08:19.Today, I am going to ask for everything. Of course they will
:08:19. > :08:24.deliver and find something else. Having never been behind New Zealand
:08:24. > :08:29.have been stuck on match point for seven days. It's not just the 8-1
:08:29. > :08:33.lead they lost, they are Government-backed and there the
:08:33. > :08:37.taxpayer might not fund another campaign if they lose. I have
:08:37. > :08:41.complete belief. Our team, our guys and I know we can win the race
:08:41. > :08:45.today. You know, it is obviously a big ask the way the Oracle guys have
:08:45. > :08:49.been sailing. It will be very difficult. They have improved a huge
:08:49. > :08:54.amount. They are not unbeatable. We know that if we put together a solid
:08:54. > :09:00.performance then we can win the race. Lo hat has been made -- A lot
:09:00. > :09:05.has been made about today. It is a monumental occasion for the
:09:05. > :09:12.America's Cup and it will be remembered for a long, long time.
:09:12. > :09:15.We go about the business of actually remembering it for the ght reasons.
:09:15. > :09:20.There's no second place in this America's Cup. The describe the
:09:20. > :09:28.final showdown let's go to commentary. And to update us on that
:09:29. > :09:33.all-important win is Gary Jobson. So the current is flooding in. It makes
:09:33. > :09:37.the waves small. It will be a premium on boat handling. You have
:09:37. > :09:44.to push hard. This is the race of this century. Last century, 1983 -
:09:44. > :09:50.sailors from Auckland, New Zealand, San Francisco and all the way to New
:09:50. > :09:56.Jersey are on the edge of their seats today! More from Gary today.
:09:56. > :10:00.We have a flood tide coming into the bay. It is not as strong as we have
:10:00. > :10:05.seen in the past. It will smooth the course out a bit. It will. New
:10:05. > :10:10.Zealand think the smooth water is to their benefit. They think that is
:10:10. > :10:14.when they go well against Oracle. They don't like the chop. This makes
:10:14. > :10:19.a difference in the start-box. The weather towards the end of the
:10:19. > :10:22.Golden Gate Bridge becomes more favoured when there is a current
:10:22. > :10:26.like this. It is because it is a better angle to mark number one. It
:10:26. > :10:30.is a subtle little difference. But you can make a case that the leader
:10:30. > :10:32.at mark one goes on to win this case. The boats are that equal in
:10:32. > :10:38.speed. Obviously up and down and a case. The boats are that equal in
:10:38. > :10:45.half times, to huge crowds along the city today. And then the region to
:10:45. > :10:56.the famous - somebody has to finally win the America's Cup here, Todd!
:10:56. > :11:00.So there you see the current. They have been talking about their
:11:00. > :11:08.tactics. I think it will be high. You're not
:11:08. > :11:12.going to go to the shoreline and go all the way... I am saying like we
:11:12. > :11:19.don't want to let them cross over and let them get on this side of us,
:11:19. > :11:24.do we? No. If they go to the left, then surely we build light pressure
:11:24. > :11:35.and attack... I am saying we are not rolling straight away. No.
:11:35. > :11:44.So, at 2. 10 - there was the right of way to the start box and the
:11:44. > :11:48.Americans will follow. This tact has been favourable. Both skipper,
:11:48. > :11:54.skippers on both teams think to be able to enther the box ten -- enter
:11:54. > :11:58.the box ten seconds early is an advantage. Team New Zealand has
:11:58. > :12:16.locked out at the beginning of today's race.
:12:16. > :12:24.We are over! More over... Here is where the at
:12:24. > :12:28.the tigs will feed -- the tactician will feed information to the
:12:28. > :12:33.helmsman. He is totally in control here, using instincts, setting up,
:12:33. > :12:35.not only to get to the line in time, but to get themselves between the
:12:35. > :12:57.other boat and the first mark. One minute to go to the start. Team
:12:57. > :13:01.New Zealand has set themselves up down lu in the box. -- low in the
:13:01. > :13:04.box. It is called the gapping off - they
:13:04. > :13:07.box. might try and use that gap if they
:13:07. > :13:09.can get to the line at the same time to have a better angle to mark one
:13:09. > :13:23.and roll over-the-top. 35 seconds, Jimmy Spithill shows
:13:23. > :13:29.like he'll go for the hook and then pulls it off. Trying to keep a gap
:13:29. > :13:34.here at this stage. He is hooked to... He has to get better time and
:13:34. > :13:39.distance and roll over-the-top. That is their only chance at this stage.
:13:39. > :13:43.Team New Zealand is down low. This is a dangerous spot for Emirates
:13:43. > :14:03.Team New Zealand right now. The wind is good. We are all clear.
:14:03. > :14:14.Race 19. Such a critical moment in this race.
:14:14. > :14:26.A beautiful job by New Zealand. Can they hold the overlap? Huge skids,
:14:26. > :14:30.piled in by Oracle. Emirates Team New Zealand gets the hole shot.
:14:30. > :14:36.Oracle takes a big dip. How much will that hurt them? Both boats got
:14:36. > :15:01.really loose there, right at that mark. This is incredible already.
:15:02. > :15:08.Oracle, upon their foil. You heard Ben Ainslie, the tactician say, nice
:15:09. > :15:18.recovery. The Kiwi is just off to the right.
:15:18. > :15:25.Again, another crucial moment. Team New Zealand did not gybe right away
:15:25. > :15:29.with Oracle, therefore it is a drag race. Oracle is not in a bad
:15:29. > :15:38.position. The faster boat could roll the other boat right now. Oracle is
:15:38. > :15:42.inching away at that lead. Let's check in on the water with Gary
:15:42. > :15:46.Jobson. Oracle there really had a bad wave and went up and down and
:15:46. > :15:50.lost it. Buoy, are they selling fast. They have gone right by us, so
:15:50. > :15:54.from our position Oracle has a bit more speed but the big question for
:15:54. > :15:58.Jimmy Spithill, can he block the wind of New Zealand, he is going to
:15:58. > :16:07.go forward about two and a half lengths. They trail by 40 metres to
:16:07. > :16:18.the Kiwis. This is the winner take all of the 34th America's Cup.
:16:18. > :16:24.Flat out Dragon boat racing, two very even boats right now. The
:16:24. > :16:29.boundary will be coming into play shortly. I don't think Oracle is
:16:29. > :16:32.going to have the time to roll over the top. Actually Team New Zealand
:16:32. > :16:38.has come out a bit ahead here recently. Almost a final 20th gybe
:16:38. > :16:46.is both boats decide to make the term with the boundary on the left
:16:46. > :16:55.-- simultaneous gybe. 41 knots of boat speed going into that shot.
:16:55. > :17:04.When you are behind, you put a lot of pressure to make the leading boat
:17:04. > :17:09.nervous. These are sights and sounds that nobody in sailing ever dreamt
:17:09. > :17:15.we would see. This is just a new sport that we are witnessing here,
:17:15. > :17:19.in a 34th America's Cup. They are travelling about 40 knots, which is
:17:19. > :17:24.46 miles an hour, downwind here on leg number two of five. This is
:17:24. > :17:26.going to be a very fast race, the wind is blowing around, 18 to 19
:17:26. > :17:49.knots. Emirates on the left, Oracle Team
:17:49. > :17:55.USA on the right as they approach Mark Liberty. What are the options
:17:55. > :17:58.for the Kiwis? For the Kiwis you are trying to stay in thing. You learn
:17:58. > :18:02.the hard way at this stage yesterday they were ahead, in the second race,
:18:02. > :18:07.and they allowed Oracle to split and get to the other Mark of the two on
:18:07. > :18:10.the gate. Don't let the split happen. Go with them, match here at
:18:10. > :18:25.this stage. Tom Slingsby calling up the times.
:18:25. > :18:29.They go almost to the lay line and it remains about 65 metre lead for
:18:29. > :18:34.the Kiwis on the left of your screen. The Kiwis have done a great
:18:34. > :18:36.job of staying in sequence with these guys the whole way down and
:18:36. > :18:44.job of staying in sequence with holding a really, really small lead
:18:44. > :18:54.right to the gate. I think Oracle is going to go for a split here. At
:18:54. > :19:06.gate number two, the Americans will split the course yet again.
:19:06. > :19:12.Man, is this setting up exactly like the second race yesterday. Team New
:19:12. > :19:15.Zealand will come out of the right-hand side and they are going
:19:15. > :19:20.to start using that code to their advantage. Let's see what Oracle
:19:20. > :19:25.does at this stage. At this point on the racecourse the Americans have
:19:25. > :19:28.taken the lead by 20 metres. But they are down one tack, so still a
:19:28. > :19:46.lot to play for. As the American league grows up to
:19:46. > :19:49.69 metres, Gary Jobson, who has the right spot and where is the sweet
:19:49. > :19:54.spot on this course as they had up wind? Position wise, Emirates Team
:19:54. > :19:57.New Zealand have to start with the advantage but they are sailing slow
:19:57. > :20:03.slow right now, they have to pick it up a notch if they want to hold on.
:20:03. > :20:10.Here comes the moment of truth. This is the moment of truth. Port start
:20:10. > :20:14.board. Oracle will be likely dipping at this stage then they will
:20:14. > :20:20.board. Oracle will be likely dipping the port starboard advantage. This
:20:20. > :20:25.is the race we only dreamt of. And on the cross the Kiwis take the lead
:20:25. > :20:29.back. With the starboard tack right away, the Kiwis are allowed to head
:20:29. > :20:36.-- and are allowed to cross ahead of Oracle at that stage.
:20:36. > :20:51.Oracle is heading for less current, New Zealand is heading for more.
:20:51. > :20:56.Is the Kiwis tack on the far left side of the course, the Americans
:20:56. > :20:57.stay on course with good speed and this will close the gap
:20:57. > :21:08.substantially. This is where Oracle turned on the
:21:08. > :21:12.afterburners yesterday. It was speed that we have never seen out of AC72
:21:13. > :21:20.up wind. Let's see if they have it in them again today. Another moment
:21:20. > :21:26.of truth. Starboard tack advantage now to Oracle, as they -- was the
:21:26. > :21:31.cross comes yet again. They are almost dead even on the water Oswego
:21:31. > :21:41.on-board Oracle Team USA. -- Oswego on-board.
:21:41. > :21:46.A big cross, the Americans having the right of way and they will make
:21:46. > :21:50.the cross. I don't think Team New Zealand had to look at that stage,
:21:50. > :21:57.that means that is about three boat length game over the last minute and
:21:57. > :22:00.a half, a big number, a big jump for Oracle. We will learn a lot about
:22:00. > :22:05.a half, a big number, a big jump for boats here, if New Zealand go to the
:22:05. > :22:10.right, the speeds are even, if the USA continues the game, they are a
:22:10. > :22:14.lot faster boat. Leg three of five approaching the halfway point of
:22:15. > :22:17.this race and this is one for all of the models, the 34th America's Cup
:22:17. > :22:25.this race and this is one for all of will go to the winner of this race.
:22:25. > :22:35.That is the voice of Tom Slingsby, the strategist on Oracle. He says
:22:35. > :22:46.they are crossing if he tacks. Yet others are huge moment. -- yet
:22:46. > :22:50.another huge moment. Wow! Not just across, another couple of boat
:22:50. > :22:54.lengths, a couple of boat lengths for Oracle. This is looking awfully
:22:54. > :22:59.familiar. The question is, what are the Americans doing right? What are
:22:59. > :23:05.the Kiwis doing wrong? Boat speed, boat speed, boat speed, a
:23:05. > :23:18.tactician's best friend. Dig into this one a little. Don't be afraid
:23:18. > :23:22.to be a little faster I think, guys. Set-up here. Here, as we take a look
:23:22. > :23:24.overhead at Emirates Team New Set-up here. Here, as we take a look
:23:24. > :23:28.Zealand, what is their strategy now with less than a race to go question
:23:28. > :23:32.might Well if you are slower than Oracle right now, if you are New
:23:32. > :23:37.Zealand, you have to keep the other boat tacking and manoeuvre and try
:23:37. > :23:46.to make them make a mistake. If your speed is even, go straight, if you
:23:46. > :23:49.are slower, make them manoeuvre. You can see the flood tide coming in
:23:49. > :24:01.from the Pacific into the San Francisco Bay. Emirates holding up
:24:01. > :24:09.25 knots. This is it, this is it. Is commentated by Mr Ben Ainslie.
:24:09. > :24:19.They continue. These guys are smoking right now. They are foiling
:24:19. > :24:22.almost all the time. Something that we rarely saw at the beginning of
:24:22. > :24:26.this event. Every single race they have been out of the water is
:24:26. > :24:34.foiling more and more up wind, they are using it to their advantage.
:24:34. > :24:57.The lead is now 162 metres. Keep working, keep working. Holloway. --
:24:57. > :25:03.Hall away. Go! Come on! The wind continues but not overly mid-. There
:25:03. > :25:10.is no wind limit after the top mark. Pics moments ago at 20.7 knots. Our
:25:10. > :25:13.wind limit is 20.74. As Gary Jobson pointed out, if they get through
:25:13. > :25:20.Mach number three the wind is waved off and that has to be advantaged
:25:20. > :25:24.Team USA. These guys are down the road, is it getting windier? It is
:25:24. > :25:28.getting a bit windy, particularly at the top end of the course. It is
:25:28. > :25:31.hard to see that because of the top -- the strong flood tide, which
:25:31. > :25:36.keeps the waves down. These guys have done everything right in this
:25:36. > :25:44.race except they just don't have the pace.
:25:44. > :25:54.Oh, nice move by Oracle to push them back. Well done. Ben Ainslie, the
:25:54. > :25:58.tactician on-board Oracle Team USA, the man on the far right of your
:25:59. > :26:05.screen, is a four time Olympic gold medallist.
:26:05. > :26:24.And with every metre sails, you've got to imagine the pressure that is
:26:24. > :26:30.being applied on-board Emirates Team New Zealand. One week ago they had a
:26:30. > :26:37.lead of 8-1. It is now 8-8 and the winner of this race will take the
:26:37. > :26:40.Cup. What a show for the people on the shoreline in San Francisco Bay.
:26:40. > :26:44.And for sailors and non-sailors alike around the world, this is a
:26:44. > :26:47.comeback like international sport may have never seen before. Oracle
:26:47. > :26:59.has pace. Folks, this is a complete role
:26:59. > :27:04.reversal of what we saw seven or eight days ago. It was the Kiwis
:27:04. > :27:08.putting it to the Americans. They could go wherever and whenever they
:27:08. > :27:12.wanted on the course and now the role is reversed. The lead, 260
:27:12. > :27:17.metres to the Americans. Look at the boat speeds, almost 30 knots for
:27:17. > :27:23.Oracle and 25 or 26 for Emirates Team New Zealand. Give the design
:27:23. > :27:27.team a lot of credit. The shore team. An incredible amount of credit
:27:27. > :27:28.for sticking with these guys and giving them a faster boat at this
:27:28. > :27:42.stage. Let's not forget Emirates Team New
:27:42. > :27:46.Zealand, three or four times over the last couple of days, have been
:27:46. > :27:52.able to close the race down one leg for, to less than 100 metres -- lead
:27:52. > :27:56.four. If the Americans think this is wrapped up, give them a pep talk
:27:57. > :28:00.because it will be thrown at them when they turn to home. There is
:28:00. > :28:05.zero quitting in these guys but holy Smoke, look at that, talk about
:28:05. > :28:12.demoralising. Just gone, right now. If you are Oracle, just gone. Gary,
:28:13. > :28:18.every time they lead the docks, they seem faster. They made some
:28:18. > :28:19.improvements since yesterday. It is impressive sight, seeing them foil
:28:19. > :28:40.up wind as they are right now. Get on the foil and then we will do
:28:40. > :28:43.it. Really big wind out of the gate, Oracle has to be very careful
:28:43. > :28:48.making that rounding. It can't make a mistake at that point. As we saw
:28:48. > :28:54.during the Louis Vuitton Cup, almost taking the thing over and losing two
:28:54. > :28:58.crewmember over the side during the race. No harm, no foul, but with
:28:58. > :29:04.that big a wind under 13 story wing, you have to be pretty careful.
:29:04. > :29:08.Team New Zealand is going 27 or 28 knots of wind, that is almost 30%
:29:08. > :29:18.more faster than they went in the Louis Vuitton Cup. Unbelievable
:29:18. > :29:21.speed gains. Maybe there were a little Conservative on the start,
:29:21. > :29:27.knowing they were fast rolling to New Zealand.
:29:27. > :29:30.I am not sure Jimmy Spithill has ever been conservative about
:29:30. > :29:41.anything, Gary. There is the track, showing Howard
:29:41. > :29:45.far -- showing you how far out the Americans are in front. That is the
:29:45. > :30:00.41 Kiwi acting as tactician. Well, it is miracle time for
:30:00. > :30:06.Emirates. They have to darn near flip this boat over at this stage,
:30:06. > :30:12.it is such a big lead. And at gate number three, we will
:30:13. > :30:19.bring them home uninterrupted. Oracle team USA with a huge lead.
:30:19. > :30:22.The Americans will retain the cup and for Team New Zealand they have
:30:22. > :30:38.to find wind and speed if they want to take the Cup to New Zealand.
:30:38. > :30:52.The boat just about takes off at the top gate.
:30:52. > :30:57.They went for it! The Kiwis split the course. They are
:30:57. > :31:03.looking for in Iing to get them -- for anything to get them back in
:31:03. > :31:07.touch. They are dealt a 26-seconds behind the defenders. They are
:31:07. > :31:18.almost going to have to gib immediately here.
:31:18. > :31:29.-- gybe immediately here. The lead is almost 500 metres. The
:31:29. > :31:31.Kiwis way over on the boundary. At this stage of the game, nothing
:31:31. > :31:39.Kiwis way over on the boundary. to lose!
:31:39. > :31:48.All kinds of records will be talked about when this is p done -- when
:31:48. > :31:52.this is done, whichever way it goes. The fastest Cup. Oracle Team USA is
:31:52. > :31:56.this is done, whichever way it goes. ahead of the record by about 30
:31:56. > :32:02.seconds. Let's not forget it was four days ago that Emirates Team New
:32:02. > :32:06.Zealand had the lead. They made the turn on the last leg, literally four
:32:06. > :32:11.minutes away from winning the Cup and the whistle was blown. A time
:32:11. > :32:27.limit of 40 minutes had expired and the race was wiped clean.
:32:27. > :32:31.One thing in common with this Cup, there was a Kirby on board. His
:32:31. > :32:47.father on board in 1992. You talk about the speed of the
:32:47. > :32:58.Kiwis, they certainly had it when they won the vit vit vit -- Luois
:32:58. > :33:04.Vitton Cup. Where has the speed gone? They put the jets on. A lot of
:33:04. > :33:08.time and effort has gone into designing the technology. Vertical
:33:08. > :33:13.learning curves have been talked about all the time. They get better
:33:13. > :33:21.every day. Oracle has happened to get better, faster.
:33:21. > :33:28.Do you think we'll ever see these boats again? These AC72s are the
:33:28. > :33:31.vision of Larry Ellison and Russell, after they put these together after
:33:31. > :33:36.winning the last America's Cup. They had the right to decide where it
:33:36. > :33:45.would be contested and these AC72s were they drier. Their dream.
:33:45. > :33:49.Here we are, breaking down barriers into the history of the America's
:33:49. > :33:55.Cup. Never have we seen anything like that - the epic combat
:33:56. > :34:01.continues! Was that a smile? Very close. Jimmy
:34:02. > :34:07.Spithill, the skipper and helmsman on Oracle USA, Australian by birth,
:34:07. > :34:09.married to an American woman. As he is bringing this home, he can see
:34:09. > :34:24.gate four in the distance. It's not bad to have five Olympic
:34:24. > :34:38.gold medals behind you and give you information. Not bad at all!
:34:38. > :34:52.There's a smile. CREW: SLOWLY GET SOFTER FROM HERE?
:34:52. > :34:56.Don't smile yet, Jimmy! For more than ten days Jimmy
:34:56. > :35:03.Spithill sat down at press conference after press conference
:35:03. > :35:08.and said, "We can still with this." At 8-1, he said, "I believe we can
:35:08. > :35:12.win this again." We had the conversation that said, what is
:35:12. > :35:18.wrong with him - you have to know when you are beat! He never knew it!
:35:18. > :35:22.They had incredible winning and losing streaks, Dean Barker and
:35:22. > :35:26.Jimmy Spithill. Not the best gybe on Oracle there by the way. They
:35:26. > :35:30.handled their press conferences, the pressure, with incredible poise and
:35:30. > :35:35.we have to take our hats off to both of them. If you go out here, New
:35:35. > :35:39.Zealand did a really good race. Got to lead at the second gate. What
:35:39. > :35:43.else could they have done? They are a little slower. At tend of the day,
:35:43. > :35:50.it is always the faster boat that will win and tacticians aside, over
:35:51. > :35:56.the past races it has been Oracle Team USA. If this stands the way it
:35:57. > :36:00.is, this will definitely hurt for Emirates Team New Zealand and a
:36:01. > :36:04.nation. I will say this, Dean Barker, Davies and the crew are some
:36:05. > :36:13.of the classiest you have ever come across. Oracle, Team USA makes the
:36:13. > :36:16.turn for home. I never thought I would say this,
:36:16. > :36:24.but Oracle is going to win the America's Cup. This is incredible!
:36:24. > :36:28.What was dubbed as a rates for redemption for Dean Barker and New
:36:28. > :36:33.Zealand looked like it was on course as they led a week ago. They were
:36:33. > :36:37.sitting on a match-point. One more victory and the Cup was being
:36:37. > :36:42.shipped off to Auckland, New Zealand. Here we are a week later
:36:42. > :36:45.and it is Oracle Team USA that is just moments away from keeping the
:36:45. > :37:10.Cup. The Stars and Stripes say it all!
:37:10. > :37:39.The comeback is complete! America's Cup will stay in America.
:37:39. > :37:54.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And as the celebration commences on
:37:54. > :37:59.the shores here, in San Francisco, Emirates Team New Zealand comes
:37:59. > :38:02.across, one short for more than a week, their final delta in excess of
:38:02. > :38:27.438 seconds -- 43 seconds. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:38:27. > :38:36.A fly-by like no other! A defence for the record books. America's Cup
:38:36. > :38:50.will stay with Oracle Team USA. Oh, just had anything - a little bit
:38:50. > :38:56.of spray, as you can see. We almost lost you! I am still here. Jimmy
:38:56. > :39:02.Spithill, two-times America's Cup skipper. How does this feel? It
:39:02. > :39:05.really is about the team. On your own, you are nothing. When you have
:39:05. > :39:09.a team like this around you, that I can make you look great and they did
:39:09. > :39:16.all of that today and the whole series - just so proud of the boys.
:39:16. > :39:20.Just a fantastic team effort! Heartbreak for Dean Barker, who with
:39:20. > :39:21.his team couldn't compete with the blistering speeds and skill of the
:39:21. > :39:25.USA. blistering speeds and skill of the
:39:25. > :39:30.Very frustrating. You think back two weeks, the
:39:30. > :39:34.opposite was true. The gains they have made is phenomenal. A great
:39:34. > :39:40.credit to those guys, they have really done an amazing job to sort
:39:40. > :39:44.their boat out and probably a good thing for us they didn't do it
:39:44. > :39:46.earlier. I am incredibly proud of our team and what they have
:39:46. > :39:51.achieved. I am gutted that we didn't get the
:39:52. > :39:57.last one that we needed to take this Cup back to New Zealand. It's very
:39:57. > :40:05.hard to swallow! A triumphant win for Jimmy Spithill,
:40:06. > :40:09.completes one of -- completing one of the most exhilarating comebacks
:40:09. > :40:14.in the sport. I will tell you one thing, it is an
:40:14. > :40:19.incredible team standing behind me. We faced a lot of adversity, a lot
:40:19. > :40:21.of challenges. We dug a big hole. We came together as a team. There is
:40:21. > :40:25.of challenges. We dug a big hole. We one ingredient we could not have
:40:25. > :40:28.done it without - your support. Thank you very much. This is a team
:40:28. > :40:32.that never, ever gives up. We fought all the way to the end. Every single
:40:32. > :40:38.day we were winning races, all you guys were coming supporting us. All
:40:38. > :40:41.the good messages got through. It really affected the guys. We are in
:40:41. > :40:47.debt to you guys. The defender of really affected the guys. We are in
:40:47. > :40:49.the America's cup... Oracle Team USA!
:40:49. > :41:12.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It was an amazing feeling to. Be a
:41:12. > :41:17.part of that really creating history w this American team - it is a real
:41:17. > :41:21.privilege. The Olympics is mainly about individuals or small teams and
:41:21. > :41:24.the America's Cup is about big teams. To be sure, these are the two
:41:24. > :41:29.the America's Cup is about big best in the world - Emirates and
:41:29. > :41:32.Oracle Team USA. Hats off to the Kiwis. They have been a standout
:41:32. > :41:36.team all the way through. At one point it looked like they were
:41:36. > :41:40.walking away with the America's Cup. Somehow we managed to pull the hat
:41:40. > :41:44.out of the bag and get ourselves back in the competition. It is one
:41:44. > :41:49.of the biggest comebacks I have ever seen in any sport. It has been an
:41:49. > :41:55.hon tore be a -- honour to be a part of the team. This could have done
:41:55. > :42:00.more for sailing than anything other. The messagesvy had from home
:42:00. > :42:05.is -- the messages I have had from home is people who never really
:42:05. > :42:10.watch sailing before, they suddenly get it. They think the raw speed -
:42:11. > :42:15.they really are taken away by it. And the closeness of this
:42:15. > :42:23.competition, this comeback from Oracle Team USA, from 8-1 down, it
:42:23. > :42:28.has captured the public's imagination. There is no secret I
:42:28. > :42:35.would love to see a British team's success. It is where it started. We
:42:35. > :42:41.have a proud maritime history. We have incredibly talented sailor,
:42:41. > :42:46.designers. If the Aussies and the Kiwis can be top of this game, then
:42:46. > :42:51.surely the Brits can too. No-one could see this comeback. Full credit
:42:51. > :42:53.to Jimmy Spithill and his crew. The team boss has transformed this
:42:53. > :42:59.event. There was a revolutionary team boss has transformed this
:42:59. > :43:06.gain in boat speed, reducing an on-water speckal that produced
:43:06. > :43:10.heart-spotting excitement. -- heart-stopping excitement. They
:43:10. > :43:18.are expensive - a winning campaign can cost at least $100 million. That
:43:18. > :43:25.limits the challengers. Will we see the AC72s again? Back to the
:43:25. > :43:32.Americans and Spithill, but a first for Britain's Ben Ainslie who has
:43:32. > :43:37.added the America's Cup glory to his Olympic titles.
