:00:51. > :00:57.Welcome to day three of racing in the 34th America's Cup. Both teams
:00:57. > :01:02.have reduced record-breaking speeds in their efforts to win the oldest
:01:02. > :01:04.trophy in world sport. We want to keep the cup here, we want to keep
:01:04. > :01:09.trophy in world sport. We want to it in the bay. These guys don't. The
:01:09. > :01:18.New Zealanders have the advantage. We are here to win the America's Cup
:01:18. > :01:23.and stagger back to New Zealand. This moment is huge and it belongs
:01:23. > :01:35.to Emirates Team New Zealand. What an amazing start. Emirate teams New
:01:35. > :01:42.Zealand goes up 2-0. Day two and New Zealand overcame a penalty to
:01:42. > :01:47.increase their lead. They came from behind to take race number three in
:01:47. > :01:56.impressive fashion. Then it was the Americans from start to finish. It
:01:56. > :01:59.belongs to Oracle team USA. America need a win quickly if they are to
:01:59. > :02:05.stand any chance of defending the America's Cup.
:02:05. > :02:12.With a strong breeze forecast San Francisco Bay was set to provide
:02:12. > :02:21.more dramatic action for races five and six. At the moment there is a
:02:21. > :02:25.huge swing to team New Zealand who have won three out of the four
:02:25. > :02:29.races. The Americans have only managed to win one of them. They
:02:29. > :02:33.have yet to get on the scoreboard because of a two race penalty
:02:33. > :02:37.imposed by the international jury. Although Monday was a rest day the
:02:37. > :02:42.defenders used their time to practice manoeuvres, part of the
:02:42. > :02:46.$300 million project was to build an identical boat to replicate match
:02:47. > :02:52.race conditions skippered by Sir Ben Ainslie. It means huge investment
:02:52. > :02:57.and whether it comes a lot of pressure for those in charge. Just
:02:57. > :03:01.ask Sir Russell Coutts, chief executive of Oracle team USA, and
:03:01. > :03:12.Grant Dalton, managing director of Emirates Team New Zealand.
:03:12. > :03:21.This is a high-stakes competition. The teams have put a lot of effort
:03:21. > :03:23.into this. Over the past three or four years there has been a huge
:03:23. > :03:30.into this. Over the past three or amount of money invested. They get
:03:30. > :03:36.one shot at it. Russell is the most successful skipper in the history of
:03:36. > :03:40.the America's Cup. There is a lot of pressure on both teams, both know
:03:41. > :03:47.that if they lose this, the team is small likely going to end right here
:03:47. > :03:53.-- more than likely. A lot of pressure. Not only fighting for the
:03:53. > :03:58.cup, but for survival. The core strength of this team is its culture
:03:58. > :04:02.and belief, and is knowledge that it exists for the sole purpose of
:04:02. > :04:10.trying to return the cup to New Zealand. From what I can see of the
:04:10. > :04:14.New Zealand campaign this is one of the best efforts they have put
:04:14. > :04:22.together in recent times. They have a good shot at this. We don't give
:04:22. > :04:28.it huge amount of thought, but the pillars that we stand on, the
:04:28. > :04:35.nationality, country versus country, so that is what it should be. The
:04:35. > :04:41.next thought is the ridiculous cost needs to be nail on the head. We
:04:41. > :04:46.were hoping more of the teams would go from the 45 series into America's
:04:46. > :04:55.Cup, but this cup final will end up being a great event. It is something
:04:55. > :04:59.we can be proud of. He has made the decision not to be on board, not so
:04:59. > :05:07.much I have made the decision, because you have got 20. Why am I
:05:07. > :05:14.not on the boat? I have 51 years old. If you are not on the boat you
:05:14. > :05:22.don't know what is going on. You need people who are physically fit.
:05:22. > :05:27.I would like to take it, no doubt. The fact it is closed, competitive,
:05:27. > :05:30.two evenly matched teams, it is a great outcome, that is why we are
:05:30. > :05:35.all involved. That is the business side of things,
:05:35. > :05:44.now time for the action. Things look great out here, between
:05:44. > :05:58.16 and 20 knots, the bigger news is Things look great out here, between
:05:58. > :06:04.the current. It is flooding in. That will be a big factor. The sun is
:06:04. > :06:08.out, the boats are here, the wind is up, we will have a great race. We
:06:08. > :06:16.are set to go with a three of racing. There is an aerial view of
:06:16. > :06:23.the court. 1.9 knots flood, water coming in. From underneath the
:06:23. > :06:29.golden gate bridge. This is a huge factor. Upwind, especially for boats
:06:29. > :06:35.that goat this fast. The left side, small arrows, not much. On the right
:06:36. > :06:40.side there is up to two knots. There was a big difference which tends to
:06:40. > :06:48.favour team New Zealand. Here is the course, the standard new America's
:06:48. > :06:52.Cup course. We have the quick reach to the start, 1.5 laps, up and down
:06:52. > :07:04.the waterfront then a quick reach into the finish. The clock has
:07:04. > :07:08.begun, under three minutes to go. At 2:10pm New Zealand will get port
:07:08. > :07:22.entry. The Americans can come in ten seconds later. It is more for safety
:07:22. > :07:26.down to give them an advantage. To get across and be able to start to
:07:26. > :07:30.position yourself where you want to go, the boat coming in from the
:07:30. > :07:35.other side, Oracle, they have two react to your position. We think
:07:35. > :07:40.when they come in they will start thinking about where they want to
:07:40. > :07:52.setup, which end the line they want to set up for.
:07:52. > :08:07.The Americans are free to enter the start box. You want to get your boat
:08:07. > :08:12.in the right position. One will become the pusher and the other
:08:12. > :08:22.blogger. Team New Zealand will roll into attack. It is reaction time,
:08:22. > :08:30.for the skippers. We check in on the water with Gary. I like the American
:08:30. > :08:34.position, closer to the line, they will be able to block the course.
:08:34. > :08:49.New Zealand has got a bit of trouble.
:08:49. > :08:58.One minute to the start and you hear Dean Barker starting to talk about
:08:58. > :09:01.manoeuvres. Classic pusher and locker. Team USA is trying to get
:09:01. > :09:06.New Zealand down to the left-hand side of the racecourse. They are
:09:06. > :09:20.coming from behind fast to get that hook. Got to be careful get in too
:09:20. > :09:28.low on the slow line. 30 seconds to go. Team New Zealand being patient,
:09:28. > :09:34.timing the distance for Dean Barker. He will end up going to the
:09:34. > :09:41.left-hand side, it is who excel rates best? -- accelerates.
:09:41. > :09:55.The final count is on a stay free of the 34th America's Cup, who will get
:09:55. > :09:59.it right? -- day three. New Zealand at the last moment made a great move
:09:59. > :10:06.as Dean Barker was able to get underneath Jimmy Spithill. Who can
:10:06. > :10:08.reach fastest to this mark, can Emirates Team New Zealand hold off
:10:08. > :10:19.the boat that has a slightly better angle? The blue dots are dirty air
:10:19. > :10:26.Americans are sending back. Oracle will get over the top and give them
:10:26. > :10:42.disturbed air. Oracle team USA picks up over the Kiwis. The race is now
:10:42. > :10:49.on, this is race number five, Day number three, as we go down on the
:10:49. > :10:58.water and checking with Gary. Very puffy when conditions. -- wind. New
:10:58. > :11:06.water and checking with Gary. Very Zealand has plenty of opportunity to
:11:06. > :11:10.catch up. Gary talking about the jibs, the sales at the sales are
:11:11. > :11:17.different. If you want more speed is it not better to get more power up
:11:17. > :11:20.front? These soft foils are made out of Carbon five but the smaller
:11:20. > :11:31.front? These soft foils are made out foil on a windy day.
:11:31. > :11:37.This is a left-hand racetrack. The breeze is blowing off the shore malt
:11:37. > :11:46.and we have seen in the past allowing them to extend on starboard
:11:46. > :11:49.tack. The wind has gone out on the south. The bad news for New Zealand.
:11:50. > :11:59.No passing lane and no opportunity to jibe. The New Zealanders are in
:12:00. > :12:03.tough position. Oracle showed speed at first reach. The first time you
:12:03. > :12:30.can say Oracle was the faster boat on that first leg. Well positioned.
:12:30. > :12:58.There is pressure to limit. Dean Barker is the skipper and helmsman.
:12:58. > :13:04.Getting ready to jibe. A nice jibe, Oracle team USA jibes on top. Is
:13:04. > :13:09.that tactical is to mark tactical position, that is called the cover.
:13:09. > :13:17.They are staying between the other boat and the mark. No reason to do
:13:17. > :13:21.something crazy. It is windy out there. Oracle is showing some jets
:13:21. > :13:45.on one number one. Stand by. You see the dagger boards
:13:45. > :13:56.drop-down, it Jimmy Spithill makes the -- across the trampoline. I
:13:56. > :14:04.think it is going to be a falling. -- for Ealing tack. They are going
:14:04. > :14:10.to go straight into this mark, they will want to try and get some relief
:14:10. > :14:15.from underneath Alcatraz Island, they will be tacking fairly shortly.
:14:15. > :14:22.You heard them talk about that tactic right there. Gate number two,
:14:23. > :14:28.the Americans, Oracle team USA, the defenders, who have the lead. Almost
:14:28. > :14:40.150 leaders over Emirates Team New Zealand as the Americans clear mark
:14:40. > :14:45.to first. As the clock continues, the mark is set at eight seconds.
:14:45. > :14:49.The Kiwis trailed by eight seconds. It looks like they will split the
:14:49. > :14:57.course. The Kiwis are going closer to shore. Interesting move by
:14:57. > :15:07.Oracle, we've never seen a foiling tack like this. They rolled into a
:15:07. > :15:21.tack, I watched them do it yesterday in practice.
:15:21. > :15:30.With a lead of about 60 metres, it is Oracle Team USA on leg three of
:15:30. > :15:37.five who have the lead on the Kiwis. They trail three races to one. I'm
:15:37. > :15:41.really surprised they went into that manoeuvre so quick off the mark. I
:15:41. > :15:49.watched them do it yesterday so quickly that I wondered if there was
:15:49. > :16:00.a mistake. Team New Zealand is set for one less manoeuvre, really a
:16:00. > :16:09.move by Oracle around that mark. It will be very hard for Oracle to make
:16:09. > :16:13.two moves so quickly. Based on what Oracle did at that mark, New Zealand
:16:13. > :16:18.have caught up, and now they will have the starboard tack when they
:16:18. > :16:24.split to the other side. And less current, so New Zealand has the
:16:24. > :16:30.advantage right now. So Team New Zealand right behind arbiter as
:16:30. > :16:39.there. The big arrows mean heavy occurrence, the Americans are in it.
:16:40. > :16:44.-- heavier currents. That wind is more to the south when you get to
:16:44. > :16:51.the city front, so that could help Oracle with a better angle. That big
:16:52. > :16:55.angle difference we see on the TV right now, Team New Zealand is out
:16:55. > :17:00.of current right now and you will see them go across the line right
:17:00. > :17:03.there. Now they are in the same current as Oracle. Really
:17:03. > :17:12.interesting tactics by Oracle, I don't really know what they're
:17:12. > :17:18.doing, to be honest. So the Kiwis have taken the lead for the first
:17:18. > :17:21.time in this, race number five, on leg number three, which has really
:17:21. > :17:31.been a lucky charm on the last four races.
:17:31. > :17:45.A textbook tack directly under the wing to force Oracle out into the
:17:45. > :17:51.current. A good move by New Zealand. This is what you are talking about,
:17:51. > :17:55.they went immediately to attack. They called for a foiling tack. They
:17:55. > :18:10.were trying to use their speed around the mark to roll the boat
:18:10. > :18:16.into attack. They owned most -- into a tack. They almost rolled over. As
:18:16. > :18:24.they made the turn, all the speed gets lost. I remember thinking
:18:24. > :18:29.yesterday during practice, what if they broke something? They did such
:18:29. > :18:38.a radically quick turn. They thought it would be better. Here they are
:18:38. > :18:44.going up the track. New Zealand does a standard tack and just start
:18:44. > :18:48.running them down. They get the starboard tack advantage as soon as
:18:48. > :18:57.they dipped behind USA, they are in less current, they take the lead
:18:58. > :19:01.pretty quickly. Was that a tactical mistake by the Americans, or was it
:19:01. > :19:04.just a favourable current for the Kiwis? It was all of the above. I've
:19:04. > :19:09.just a favourable current for the never seen a tack like that, it
:19:09. > :19:27.didn't really set them up very well. You see those blue arrows? That is
:19:27. > :19:33.heavy current going against you. Why would you charge over to the left
:19:33. > :19:36.side of the course? Gary, that is a good question, can you help us out?
:19:36. > :19:51.Total confusion! This is the scene on the San
:19:51. > :19:55.Francisco Bay, leg three of five, race number five, and Oracle Team
:19:55. > :20:01.USA had the lead for the first two legs. They gave it up on the third,
:20:01. > :20:02.and now they trailed by a substantial amount to a very fast
:20:02. > :20:22.Team New Zealand boat. The lead is now almost 300 metres by
:20:22. > :20:28.Team New Zealand. Look at that speed, they are just a faster boat
:20:28. > :20:32.today. That has been the rumour around San Francisco for the last
:20:32. > :20:39.few days, or is -- Oracle seems to look strong downwind. But I think
:20:39. > :20:42.everybody is shocked at how fast Team New Zealand are. They are
:20:42. > :20:57.really good at tagging. They are just better wind. -- at tacking.
:20:57. > :21:07.So Emirates team New Zealand, you heard them talk about no pressure.
:21:07. > :21:12.Team USA has detached back into the course. A very tough manoeuvre for
:21:12. > :21:20.Oracle now. Just slow making those turns. It was tactics at the bottom
:21:20. > :21:23.mark that got them so far behind. Team New Zealand is almost foiling
:21:23. > :21:34.going up wind. Very impressive, what they are doing. The lead continues
:21:34. > :21:40.to grow for the Kiwis. What we saw Oracle do, it looked a bit out of
:21:40. > :21:43.control on that tack. But they are trying to do what Team New Zealand
:21:43. > :21:49.has done so far and go from one directly to the other, to use their
:21:49. > :22:10.underwater foils to pop out of the water during a tack.
:22:10. > :22:16.We heard Ray Davies say boundary tack which means they are going to
:22:16. > :22:21.go all the way over to the wall now, the wall that only we can see,
:22:21. > :22:23.of course. Remember, this is where the most amount of relief is with
:22:23. > :22:37.regard to the current. Amazing how quickly this turned into
:22:37. > :22:45.a runaway. Oracle Team USA trying to get back into this race. At mark
:22:45. > :22:49.two, they made a decision to tack as they came around the mark, they lost
:22:49. > :22:57.all their speed and went out of sequence. The Kiwis have led ever
:22:57. > :23:05.since. They are leading by now almost 500 metres. This is an
:23:06. > :23:10.incredible turn of events. You have to believe Oracle fans were jumping
:23:10. > :23:12.for joy after the first run. But we've seen more passes again in the
:23:12. > :23:34.America's Cup. You hear that creaking? Folks at
:23:34. > :23:41.home might think that these birds are about to break apart. What are
:23:41. > :23:46.we listening to? We are listening to read tonnes of load on this wing
:23:46. > :23:51.wench, and then of course the jib, they are just easing and trimming to
:23:51. > :24:00.try to make these boats go at maximum speed. For Oracle Team USA,
:24:00. > :24:07.a moment like this, it gets in your head that you are slower. So then
:24:07. > :24:11.you start making those mistakes. The next big thing for New Zealand is to
:24:12. > :24:18.make a clean rounding. Let's not forget in the finals they almost
:24:18. > :24:23.crashed. Gary is referring to the Louis Vuitton Cup final where Team
:24:23. > :24:27.New Zealand got into it with Luna Rosa and they had a big dip, losing
:24:27. > :24:31.two men that went overboard. They were fished out moments later, but
:24:31. > :24:39.they came around with a lot of speed. Here we go, at mark number
:24:39. > :24:50.three, it is all Kiwi. Team New Zealand with a huge lead.
:24:50. > :24:56.And the clock will begin, and will give us the difference between
:24:56. > :25:02.Emirates team New Zealand and Oracle Team USA. It will be sizeable, as
:25:02. > :25:11.the Americans are still 200 metres away from the gate. Gary, with this
:25:11. > :25:16.southerly breeze coming off the land today, essentially no passing lanes.
:25:16. > :25:22.They will do one jibe and then go all the way down the track. Yes,
:25:22. > :25:33.that is one of the reasons they were unable to catch up or pass on that
:25:33. > :25:37.first down leg. So Oracle Team USA has to make another attack before
:25:37. > :25:42.they get to the gate. Meanwhile, Team New Zealand has the wind, has
:25:42. > :25:44.the current, and they are heading towards mark number four. The lead
:25:44. > :26:02.is over one minute now. At mark number three, Oracle Team
:26:02. > :26:12.USA finds themselves in a big hole. One minute, 17 seconds. Can they
:26:12. > :26:19.work magic on leg number four? It is 1356 metres, that lead. Where did it
:26:19. > :26:30.all go wrong? One manoeuvre at gate to, that's it. -- gate two. They
:26:30. > :26:35.will punch straight through to the finish line with yet another
:26:35. > :26:37.victory. Barring a major disaster, this race will go the way of the
:26:37. > :26:55.Kiwis. That is the scene in San Francisco
:26:55. > :27:00.Bay, and if you are a fan of Team New Zealand, it is a happy day. An
:27:00. > :27:05.absolute whitewashing of Team USA, who led for the first two legs of
:27:05. > :27:13.the race. Dean Barker put the hammer down on the Americans at mark three.
:27:13. > :27:24.The lead is almost 1500 metres. In match racing, Kenny, that has got to
:27:24. > :27:29.be unprecedented. They have a little pace. They are going 49 knots an
:27:29. > :27:39.hour. Just out for a little afternoon cruise on San Francisco
:27:39. > :27:40.Bay. Gary, you could probably just circle in between New Zealand and
:27:40. > :27:51.USA and have no problem. Yesterday, Oracle was out here
:27:51. > :27:56.sailing and I wonder if they made some changes to their boat, trying
:27:56. > :27:59.to make it go faster up wind, and it went backwards. That happens when
:27:59. > :28:05.you have very little time to test things. I guess the question for an
:28:05. > :28:08.outsider would be, if you won the last race of the America's Cup, why
:28:08. > :28:15.change anything from Sunday afternoon? Well, remember, the
:28:15. > :28:17.learning curves on these boats are huge. Every member of the crew on
:28:17. > :28:19.learning curves on these boats are these boats would say they are
:28:19. > :28:24.learning curves on these boats are getting faster everyday. I think for
:28:24. > :28:33.the first time we just saw a big tactical Arab. Until now, the
:28:33. > :28:46.mistakes been tiny in magnitude. -- tactical error.
:28:46. > :28:52.I'm just wondering if they will do a second race or whether they want to
:28:52. > :28:58.get back to the barn and do every sat. They will have about 20 minutes
:28:58. > :29:02.to decide after the finish. Each team has a provisional card they can
:29:02. > :29:06.play where they can literally wave of a race, normally because of
:29:06. > :29:10.weather conditions or breakage on the boat. It would be unprecedented
:29:10. > :29:21.for Team USA to play their provisional card after getting
:29:21. > :29:23.hammered by Team New Zealand. So, here we are, mark number four, and
:29:23. > :29:26.it is the Kiwis by a long shot out here we are, mark number four, and
:29:26. > :29:33.in front, reaching speeds of 54 here we are, mark number four, and
:29:33. > :29:34.miles an hour. That is 46.9 knots. Dean Barker is firmly in control of
:29:34. > :29:51.this race. People are starting to get
:29:51. > :29:55.sceptical, did the Kiwis get lucky on those first three races? The
:29:55. > :30:01.first two legs of this race, there were a lot of sceptics, we were all
:30:01. > :30:08.wondering if Oracle had caught a new gear but they handed it away quick
:30:08. > :30:11.at that first gate, really surprising that the afterguard would
:30:11. > :30:17.have put themselves in the position they actually put themselves in.
:30:17. > :30:23.Very easy to say from sitting in our comfortable chair, but nonetheless
:30:23. > :30:35.not a great move. If they do have a second race today, will Grant Dalton
:30:35. > :30:38.stay Mr Mark -- will he stay? The Americans finally make it to mark
:30:38. > :30:45.number four, the defenders of the cup. Across it at 1.14 behind. There
:30:45. > :31:02.is nothing they can do now but watch the Kiwis pick up another win.
:31:02. > :31:06.Time and distance belong to the Kiwis yet again. Race number five,
:31:06. > :31:29.team New Zealand is your winner. Ten minutes before the next arts we
:31:29. > :31:33.have two say whether they are going to do the race or not. It would be
:31:33. > :31:40.unprecedented for a team not to do this next race. Just because they
:31:40. > :31:48.are too soft. It is still a long series ahead. You can break stuff. I
:31:48. > :31:53.would be surprised if they didn't do the second race, unless they have
:31:54. > :31:55.reckon something. Looking by their body language and think maybe they
:31:55. > :32:03.reckon something. Looking by their have broken their eBay 's -- egos.
:32:03. > :32:14.You need to go out again and learn what you can.
:32:14. > :32:20.And more than a minute behind it Oracle team USA that finally crosses
:32:20. > :32:29.the line. This could be a case of what could have been. They led local
:32:29. > :32:43.one, led two and leg three seems to be the kryptonite of Oracle.
:32:43. > :32:50.In typical Kiwi fashion the celebration is somewhat muted as
:32:50. > :32:54.they go by America's Cup Park and the fans continue to make their way
:32:54. > :32:58.down to the San Francisco waterfront to see Dean Barker put on a
:32:58. > :33:03.masterful display in race number five as they pick up the wind. They
:33:03. > :33:11.are five races away, five victories away, from claiming the 34th
:33:11. > :33:14.America's Cup. As the pit crew comes on board, they do a thorough
:33:14. > :33:18.investigation of every piece they can while they have time in between
:33:18. > :33:26.the races. It is about half an hour total from one race to the other.
:33:26. > :33:32.They will absolutely be crawling through to find pieces that may be
:33:32. > :33:37.about to give up. The pit crew comes aboard, the skipper and helmsman
:33:38. > :33:43.gets the job done. We go on board with Dean, congratulations. Leg one
:33:43. > :33:49.and two it looked like the Americans found another gear.
:33:49. > :33:56.It is a tough way to win races but it is working for us. I would like
:33:56. > :34:07.to be controlling a little bit more around Mach one. It didn't quite
:34:07. > :34:14.work out. They picked up a bit of pressure and stretched out a little
:34:14. > :34:24.bit. Plenty to work on. Encouraging to get back into the race. So far we
:34:24. > :34:31.have never seen somebody roll into attack like they did. Where you
:34:31. > :34:36.surprised? Something they have been practising, we have tried it as
:34:36. > :34:48.well. When you want to go a certain weight it is a nice move. The cone
:34:48. > :34:57.was wide enough, we could stay in it and set us further up later on. We
:34:57. > :35:11.were not unhappy. How important is it to have Grant Dalton on the
:35:11. > :35:17.boat? As long as he is still feeling the template we will keep him here.
:35:18. > :35:21.-- feeling fighting fit. It is not the reason we lost the second race
:35:21. > :35:26.on Sunday. It is good with him here, he enjoys it and hopefully we can go
:35:26. > :35:31.on and when another race this afternoon.
:35:31. > :35:43.Enjoy the thick tree momentarily. -- Victor E. -- Victor E. They will
:35:43. > :35:48.take into consideration what Gary has been reporting about the wind
:35:48. > :35:54.and how that has been building. We now go on board Oracle team USA.
:35:54. > :36:03.Jimmy Spithill. A great start, a great second leg. Taken through what
:36:03. > :36:07.happened on that third leg. They were able to pull off a pass up
:36:07. > :36:21.wind. Attacking the boat very well. We got caught at. That lewd mark, if
:36:21. > :36:32.you had it again would you roll right into attack was to mark --
:36:32. > :36:39.leeward. We got out of phase the bit but they definitely had an edge on
:36:39. > :36:45.us up wind. Going with a smaller jib might be helpful, any other
:36:45. > :36:52.adjustments you can make is to mark they are pretty much locked in, we
:36:52. > :36:55.cannot shorten the wing. The Americans deflated and down after
:36:55. > :37:00.their peculiar tactics, they have to win nine of the remaining 12 races.
:37:00. > :37:06.Contrast team New Zealand, a stunning victory by over a minute, a
:37:06. > :37:10.huge margin in this style of racing. With half an hour between races the
:37:10. > :37:15.defenders faced a difficult decision, Russell Coutts summoned
:37:15. > :37:23.his skipper after the opening race. John Kostecki, the man who delivered
:37:23. > :37:30.a shock. Affirmative, we would like to use the post home and car. Oracle
:37:30. > :37:49.have just asked for the postponement car. -- card. Affirmative, we would
:37:49. > :37:52.like to use the postponement card. Oracle team USA have pulled their
:37:52. > :38:04.card, they don't want to race the second race today. They are aimed
:38:04. > :38:10.communication with John Kostecki. It has been granted so that will be it
:38:10. > :38:15.for the day. They have called for a
:38:15. > :38:20.postponement, the Americans have decided to shut the day down. This
:38:20. > :38:25.is a huge turn of events, as they have basically been hammered in race
:38:25. > :38:32.number five, they say race number six, we are not up to it or is it a
:38:32. > :38:36.structural situation? I am shocked but there are a lot of guys walking
:38:36. > :38:39.around the boat with tool boxes in their hand. I believe they have do
:38:39. > :38:45.have a structural rubble, some sort of breakdown that can allow them to
:38:45. > :38:49.use this card. They only get one for the whole event, so from now on if
:38:49. > :38:52.they break something they are stuck with whatever the consequences of
:38:52. > :38:55.stop this is the pricing they are using it but obviously they have a
:38:55. > :39:01.problem big enough that they think they cannot get around the
:39:01. > :39:08.racetrack. We go on board the committee boat. They have do have a
:39:08. > :39:13.structural situation to wave of this race.
:39:13. > :39:19.Each competitor has one card they can play at any time. If they don't
:39:20. > :39:23.like the weather, if they have a structural consideration, but they
:39:23. > :39:29.have one card only they can play in the series to postpone the race.
:39:29. > :39:36.Race number six will not take place today. Jimmy Spithill has already
:39:36. > :39:39.gotten off the boat. He is back on the tender. They will head back
:39:39. > :39:42.towards the docks. The big question the tender. They will head back
:39:42. > :39:47.will be was there a structural problem or was it a case of we got
:39:47. > :39:52.hammered so hard we need to get the boys back and regroup? It is really
:39:52. > :39:57.interesting, there is Jimmy inside with Russell Coutts. Obviously
:39:57. > :40:03.having a bit of a discussion as to what went on in the race, why did we
:40:03. > :40:06.pull the card? None of us will ever really know. They are not talking
:40:06. > :40:15.about what they are going to have for dinner, I guarantee you. What
:40:15. > :40:21.was the decision behind pulling your card?
:40:21. > :40:29.Wanted to go back and regroup. They have got an edge on us. Need a bit
:40:29. > :40:35.of work and we will play the card. Strategically, hopefully improve.
:40:35. > :40:43.This is all about upwind performance.
:40:43. > :40:50.There were a couple of mistakes. As well is something we have to
:40:50. > :40:54.address. We need to up our game. We will go away and do what we can and
:40:54. > :40:58.make sure we step up for the next one.
:40:58. > :41:06.Is this a decision you make or Russell Coutts, altogether?
:41:06. > :41:13.It is a team decision. We consult a couple of guys and we are all in
:41:13. > :41:17.agreement. We need to make a few steps and we are not going to hide
:41:17. > :41:22.from that fact. We will work hard and come out ready for another
:41:22. > :41:25.fight. A quick glimpse of you and Russell
:41:25. > :41:29.Coutts talking about strategy, we will give you the full opportunity,
:41:29. > :41:35.would you like to share what that was about as to mark just chatting
:41:35. > :41:41.about the weather. Four out of five race wins for the
:41:41. > :41:48.Challenger which made a press conference very interesting. Jimmy
:41:48. > :41:53.Spithill did all the talking. We can win these races, we just need
:41:53. > :41:57.to be very smart about the way we go about it. We need to make sure we
:41:57. > :42:03.sail the boat well. The attack itself was a terrible attack as
:42:03. > :42:09.well, technically. -- tack. We have to go away and learn from it, it was
:42:09. > :42:13.obvious we needed to regroup and have a good look at the video and
:42:13. > :42:20.what is going on out there. We will get out there again tomorrow and try
:42:20. > :42:24.and improve. We can beat these guys. You have said the team is not
:42:24. > :42:33.flustered and you will go into Thursday, can you guarantee is John
:42:33. > :42:36.Kostecki will be tactician? I cannot guarantee anything, I cannot
:42:36. > :42:42.guarantee I will be on there. It is too early to make a decision right
:42:42. > :42:46.now. That is part of the reason why we played the card, we need some
:42:46. > :42:53.time to assess our programme and the boat, and get it heading in the
:42:53. > :42:58.other direction. Fortunately we have got the time, a lot of races left,
:42:58. > :43:04.and the team has been in tough situations before and been able to
:43:04. > :43:10.pull off the regatta. Has saved you feel in your job right now? You can
:43:10. > :43:16.be a rooster one day and a feather duster the next.
:43:16. > :43:20.Jimmy Spithill doing his best in front of the worlds press but the
:43:20. > :43:23.chickens are starting to come home to roost. The American support
:43:23. > :43:28.behind the home team but could there be a change board? Ben Ainslie
:43:28. > :43:33.already out there helping them. No such problems for the Challenger, an
:43:33. > :43:39.impressive tactical display so far about a superior upwind speed, and a
:43:39. > :43:43.top speed of 54 mph. More concerning for the Americans with 12 races to
:43:43. > :43:49.go, Dean Barker's crew are looking to improve on the start line. We are
:43:49. > :43:52.back on Friday, BBC Two at 1:30pm with more intrigue and drama from
:43:52. > :43:54.San Francisco Bay.
