:00:54. > :01:03.San Francisco weights and wonders, what can the Americans do? So far it

:01:03. > :01:11.has been one-way traffic. Race five seems different, team USA had a

:01:11. > :01:19.great start. Oracle will be ahead at Mach one. The defender, searching

:01:19. > :01:25.for a second wind. It is windy out there and Oracle is really showing

:01:26. > :01:31.some jets. Everything was going to plan until a handbrake turn almost

:01:31. > :01:35.ground them to a halt. This is really interesting tactics, I don't

:01:35. > :01:40.really know what they are doing. New Zealand swept past to win by over a

:01:40. > :01:47.minute. Race number five goes in the book, Emirates team New Zealand is

:01:47. > :01:54.your winner. Team USA trailing by five races, time for a rethink. We

:01:54. > :01:57.need to regroup, we are going to play the card strategically and

:01:57. > :02:03.hopefully improve in time for the next race. It looked a poor return

:02:03. > :02:05.for the Americans after a multi-million dollar investment. New

:02:05. > :02:15.Zealand looked like a team who had come here to win. It was a crucial

:02:15. > :02:18.day in the 34th America's Cup. With softer wind conditions and sun

:02:18. > :02:22.burning through the cloud, San Francisco was buzzing. Dean Barker

:02:22. > :02:28.and his crew, enjoying the celebratory atmosphere. But once on

:02:28. > :02:33.board, the game face was on. Speculation was rife, Oracle team

:02:33. > :02:38.USA were about to make a change. It doesn't happen often in this event.

:02:38. > :02:41.With one of the last remaining Americans on the boat about to make

:02:41. > :02:48.way for the most successful Olympic sailor of all time, Britain's sur

:02:48. > :02:53.Ben Ainslie. Always talk about doing rotation and making changes and we

:02:53. > :02:57.have brought an oncoming is a sailor. He and John have been

:02:57. > :03:05.working together in the past couple of days -- we have brought Ben on,

:03:05. > :03:09.he is a great sailor. He is five-time Olympic medallist, four of

:03:09. > :03:13.them gold, the last one coming at London 2012. Although he has

:03:13. > :03:22.America's Cup experience, this is the first time in the final. Could

:03:22. > :03:30.the Knights come to the Americans' rescue. My role has been to help the

:03:30. > :03:33.sailing team develop and prepare the America's Cup finals. I have had a

:03:33. > :03:36.few experiences with the America's Cup. The first time was the world

:03:36. > :03:39.challenge in 2003 with another Cup. The first time was the world

:03:39. > :03:44.American team. And then with Cup. The first time was the world

:03:44. > :03:48.Emirates team New Zealand in 2007. We started a British team for the

:03:48. > :03:53.2010 America's Cup but unfortunately that fell apart. This team is a

:03:53. > :03:57.different to the other teams I have been involved with. It is quite a

:03:57. > :04:04.corporate team, it is quite an old team now. I suppose there is a

:04:04. > :04:12.greater family but also it is a very big team. Not only are they hugely

:04:12. > :04:17.powered monsters tearing around at ridiculous speeds, there are also 11

:04:17. > :04:24.guys on the boat so it is much more about teamwork and learning the

:04:24. > :04:28.skills of this new design of boat. The start will be supercritical.

:04:28. > :04:31.Oracle team USA first up on the The start will be supercritical.

:04:31. > :04:37.foils and pulling forward just a little bit. Crucial part of this

:04:37. > :04:42.race, boat speed contest, who can reach fastest to this mark. If you

:04:42. > :04:46.make a bad gibe you can lose a couple of hundred metres. If one

:04:46. > :04:52.team makes a mistake, another team will pounce. I expect to see close

:04:52. > :04:57.racing. You can use certain strategies. If someone has an

:04:57. > :05:04.advantage, I would expect the other boat to start getting stuck in and

:05:04. > :05:07.if it is the case then Oracle need to be more aggressive. Time to join

:05:07. > :05:19.our commentary team. The wind is good, but it is very

:05:19. > :05:23.shifty. It is going to put a lot of pressure on the tacticians. Ben

:05:23. > :05:27.Ainslie hasn't been racing. He has an intellectual challenge ahead of

:05:27. > :05:32.him. He is the first Englishman to sail in the America's Cup finals

:05:32. > :05:41.since Peter Scott in 1964. Pressure on him today. No question. Here is

:05:41. > :05:49.the course from the aerial view. Those small arrows indicate a

:05:49. > :05:53.smaller flood tide. That's right and it should be an advantage to Oracle,

:05:53. > :05:57.there is not the big change from side on it is fairly consistent.

:05:57. > :06:01.That means Oracle doesn't have to get into these tight attacking

:06:01. > :06:07.situations up the left side of the racecourse. -- tacking situations.

:06:07. > :06:13.It will be more about wind shift than the tide. As always it is five

:06:13. > :06:20.legs. A quick reach to the first mark, a crucial first mark. Oracle

:06:20. > :06:25.has to be ahead to have a chance of winning these races. Up and down one

:06:25. > :06:30.and a half laps, and then a quick reach into the finish. John Kostecki

:06:30. > :06:33.on the left-hand side, the man on the right is sur Russell Coutts,

:06:33. > :06:41.probably the man who made the decision to change course techie.

:06:41. > :06:47.For Ben Ainslie -- to change John Kostecki for Ben Ainslie. I imagine

:06:47. > :06:52.he's going to put the pressure on his boys today. All three of them

:06:52. > :06:58.look comfortable and casual but I am guessing they are churning inside.

:06:58. > :07:01.This is do or die for a call. They have got to hope that this change to

:07:01. > :07:08.the tacticians spot pays off or things will go bad really fast. You

:07:08. > :07:14.will get the greatest views and sounds on board. We are two minutes

:07:14. > :07:18.from the start and it will be team USA that gets port entry. That means

:07:18. > :07:22.they get a ten second advantage going into the start blocks and then

:07:22. > :07:25.it is up to them to dictate or force the hand of New Zealand. We will

:07:25. > :07:31.really look for communication today. the hand of New Zealand. We will

:07:31. > :07:36.A lot of this rests on the young strategist Tom Slingsby coming as

:07:36. > :07:39.got to be the lank -- he has got to be the link. I think he is a key

:07:39. > :08:00.buyer. -- player. Very aggressive move for New

:08:00. > :08:04.Zealand. This is the cat and mouse game as they try to get themselves

:08:04. > :08:10.into position, forcing the hand of the other team. They cannot cross

:08:10. > :08:15.the start line until it hit zero. The breeze is much more out of the

:08:15. > :08:19.left than we have seen in the past. It was typical for Oracle to get

:08:19. > :08:28.across New Zealand because of the angle of the wind. This has set them

:08:28. > :08:37.up to be in a tough spot than usual. We have a 1.8 not flood current.

:08:37. > :08:45.Being on the Windward side at the start would be helpful.

:08:45. > :08:51.He sounds pretty comfortable but this will be a tough spot, there is

:08:51. > :08:55.a lot of pushing and blocking, a long time to go before the start.

:08:55. > :08:58.New Zealand is in a reasonably comfortable spot, they are getting

:08:58. > :09:14.close to the line. We are racing, full speed. He has

:09:14. > :09:17.got them down to the yellow line, a really good strategy if you are

:09:17. > :09:25.early for the line. I think it could be in complete control by the start.

:09:25. > :09:32.Ten seconds away, this is race number six, Day four of the 41st

:09:32. > :09:40.America's Cup. The American have the advantage with sur Ben Ainslie as

:09:40. > :09:49.the tactician, will it pay off ? We are clear to go racing.

:09:49. > :09:55.As they crossed the line, you have got to like what you are seeing if

:09:56. > :10:00.you are a fan of Oracle. Oracle played it perfectly, New Zealand

:10:00. > :10:04.were little too aggressive, too far from the line. As a result they are

:10:04. > :10:13.four boat lengths behind, a big mistake. Ben Ainslie on the far

:10:13. > :10:18.right-hand side, normally a helmsman, playing the role tactician

:10:18. > :10:24.today. It is defenders of the cup, USA, who have the biggest lead so

:10:24. > :10:29.far in the America's Cup. That was all about Jimmy Spithill, it was the

:10:29. > :10:34.instincts of the driver. I came back early to the start line but he did a

:10:34. > :10:37.really nice job of getting down to the lay line and making no place for

:10:37. > :10:39.really nice job of getting down to the Kiwis to get around, a perfect

:10:39. > :10:58.blocking scenario. Jimmy Spithill decides now is the

:10:58. > :11:02.time to gibe. It looks like they are much closer than they are but the

:11:02. > :11:06.Americans still maintain about a 70 metre lead but it is dropping

:11:06. > :11:13.quickly because the Kiwis gibe much faster. A marginal gibe by Oracle.

:11:13. > :11:18.All of a sudden they have gone from a nice lead to a really tough spot.

:11:18. > :11:19.They are going to need jets to get out from underneath the wing wash of

:11:19. > :11:34.team New Zealand. The Americans with a small lead. It

:11:34. > :11:38.was nine seconds around number one. The big game out here is getting the

:11:39. > :11:42.winter. If you get it first, and that is where New Zealand is, you

:11:42. > :11:49.are going to accelerate and have a big advantage. The wing on the cross

:11:49. > :11:54.on Oracle seems to be slow where the New Zealand boat in contrast pops

:11:54. > :12:17.through and will accelerate faster. Big moments in this race, this is

:12:17. > :12:21.very close. Oracle have done what they needed to do and have gotten

:12:21. > :12:27.out from underneath the potential wing wash of emirates but these

:12:27. > :12:37.jibes have to be smooth, you see how much you can gain or lose with a bad

:12:37. > :12:38.gibe. That is on-board Oracle. A big decision coming up, which Gates do

:12:38. > :12:54.you take? -- which gate? We will see what that when washed us

:12:54. > :13:02.to the Kiwis, still travelling at over 29 knots, it translates to 33

:13:02. > :13:06.mph. They have a deficit behind the Americans but it looks like it is

:13:06. > :13:10.down to two seconds. It has been rumoured that Oracle is a little

:13:10. > :13:14.quicker and we have seen this on the run. They are a little bit faster

:13:14. > :13:16.going downwind. This is what the sailors feel as well, talking to

:13:16. > :13:31.them yesterday in between races. The pressure is OK. It is soft in

:13:31. > :13:50.there. Very interesting, Todd, you are

:13:50. > :13:54.seeing Tom Slingsby, the strategist, being far more vocal than he has

:13:54. > :13:55.been in the past with John Kostecki in the boat.

:13:55. > :13:57.There is a different tone in the in the boat.

:13:57. > :14:07.back of the boat. Number ten is Ray Davies, the

:14:07. > :14:12.tactician for Emirates Team New Zealand, in conversation with his

:14:12. > :14:17.skipper and helmsman, Dean Barker. He just said, good chance for a

:14:17. > :14:21.piece, that means when the jibe there are going to be on mark, he

:14:21. > :14:29.thinks there may be a port-starboard situation coming up with Oracle.

:14:29. > :14:34.Once again, the Kiwis able to stay almost completely on the foils as

:14:34. > :14:39.they make that jibe close to the boundary. It is tougher in this

:14:39. > :14:43.light air, though, they will be manoeuvring really close in this

:14:43. > :14:47.cross. If you are the Americans, are you

:14:47. > :14:53.going to jibe right on top of them? No, you are going to extend, make

:14:53. > :14:58.sure you leave the mark, make sure you only have to do one more jibe

:14:58. > :15:01.into the gate and only have to do one more money over.

:15:01. > :15:05.Just minimise your manoeuvres, make it simple, that is what you are

:15:05. > :15:22.going to have to be thinking. -- only have to do one more manoeuvre.

:15:22. > :15:32.And a little better jibe that time. How do you like Oracle's set up on

:15:32. > :15:36.gate number two? I like Oracle's position, on starboard, they are

:15:36. > :15:42.doing a good job jibing. This whole race will come down to

:15:42. > :15:45.which tactician will do better on the next leg going to windward. For

:15:45. > :15:50.Oracle Team USA, would you head the next leg going to windward. For

:15:50. > :15:53.closer to the shore or head out and try to take advantage of possible

:15:53. > :16:00.corn situation beyond Alcatraz. I would take the corn situation, 1.8

:16:00. > :16:06.knots is a lot of current tenure. They are set up for a split here,

:16:07. > :16:12.though, Emirates Team New Zealand forced to split here, likely Oracle

:16:12. > :16:14.will round on the left side of our screen, team New Zealand around the

:16:14. > :16:21.right one. This will force a split right out of

:16:21. > :16:26.the box. Gate number two, it is Oracle Team

:16:26. > :16:30.USA -- Oracle Team USA with the lead, they look as if they will try

:16:30. > :16:35.to take advantage of the current behind Alcatraz Island. I think

:16:35. > :16:37.Oracle will be thrown into attack here soon trying to take advantage

:16:37. > :16:41.Oracle will be thrown into attack of the cone.

:16:41. > :16:47.Amazingly the Americans increased the lead to three seconds. This has

:16:47. > :16:52.been the kryptonite for Oracle Team USA, leg three of these races going

:16:52. > :16:56.back up wind, we're the Kiwis have taken advantage in almost every race

:16:56. > :17:01.and retaking the lead if they have trailed. Oracle is coming back, they

:17:01. > :17:06.will play the inside edge of the cone. Keep in mind, this is a really

:17:06. > :17:11.close race and New Zealand will have right of way when the boats come

:17:11. > :17:15.together again. From our perspective on the water, New Zealand has more

:17:15. > :17:16.wind, more pressure, and they are going faster, good opportunity for

:17:16. > :17:26.them to advance. Standing by in three, two, one...

:17:26. > :17:37.Tack. It is almost a dead Standing by in three, two, one...

:17:37. > :17:40.now with the Americans trying to maintain the lead, but as the tack

:17:40. > :17:46.comes from the Kiwis they get it back by just about three or four

:17:46. > :17:49.metres. Another incredibly tight cross by these two. Amazing match

:17:49. > :17:57.racing between high-speed catamaran is here in San Francisco bay. You

:17:57. > :18:00.can see those arrows, that gives you an idea of how strong the flood

:18:00. > :18:03.current is coming from underneath the Golden Gate Bridge. It looks

:18:03. > :18:26.like Oracle are dipping. How close can it get? !

:18:26. > :18:33.After the duck, both bows nosedive and slow the boat stone. The

:18:33. > :18:42.Americans have filed up protest against the Kiwis. I have to be

:18:42. > :18:48.honest, Todd, I have no idea why. And the umpires say no penalty, sail

:18:48. > :18:53.on. Now they are out of the current come Oracle is in the better part of

:18:53. > :18:56.the cone now, the road of the current, they might be able to have

:18:56. > :19:02.a piece of Emirates Team New Zealand on the way back on starboard tack,

:19:02. > :19:04.but they have to be agile. This entire event there downfall has been

:19:04. > :19:18.tacking. And they get the lead back. The cone

:19:18. > :19:23.is dominant at this stage. The current in there must be almost

:19:23. > :19:28.going in the other direction, a back Eddie to Alcatraz Island. Yes, not

:19:28. > :19:32.only is the current advantageous, for some reason there is a little

:19:32. > :19:36.bit more wind under there helping the right side of the course get

:19:36. > :19:45.these boats into the lead. Right now, New Zealand is going to the

:19:45. > :19:53.better place. The wind is no up to 13.5 knots. I agree with Oracle, at

:19:53. > :19:56.this stage they could have done to more tacks, gotten more current

:19:56. > :20:02.release, but that is where they have got into trouble, they try to do too

:20:02. > :20:04.much. Now it is try to -- they have to try to leg it out and let the

:20:04. > :20:29.boat do it's thing. So, the Americans with the lead

:20:30. > :20:33.holding at 48 metres, we go back on board Emirates Team New Zealand,

:20:33. > :20:39.both boats travelling at about 19 knots, roughly about 29 miles --

:20:39. > :20:44.21.9 mph, and they are heading back up towards the Golden Gate Bridge.

:20:44. > :20:50.We are a little lower, a little faster.

:20:50. > :20:59.This is OK. Square for 250. We have them in a good lock down here, Dean.

:20:59. > :21:07.He is setting up to take a look too leeward. There you go, they don't

:21:07. > :21:11.think Oracle is going to cross here. They don't think they are going to

:21:11. > :21:18.cross, we are about to see yet another pass. Tactician Ray Davies

:21:18. > :21:23.on the left side of the boat, number ten. Team New Zealand is doing a

:21:23. > :21:27.dial down, they are reaching off and heading straight at Oracle to force

:21:27. > :21:30.Oracle to do a worse dock than they normally would. Really addressing --

:21:30. > :21:35.aggressive match racing moved normally would. Really addressing --

:21:35. > :21:40.Dean Barker. And a protest coming from the Americans. They think they

:21:40. > :21:47.went too far on the dial down, we will see what the umpire strength.

:21:47. > :21:54.You are about -- allowed to dial down to about 60 degrees, beyond

:21:54. > :21:58.that you could be in trouble. The action on the San Francisco bay, it

:21:59. > :22:00.is they fought, race and six of the America's Cup. The Americans with

:22:00. > :22:14.only one win, the Kiwis with four. This was moments ago on the cross

:22:15. > :22:18.between the Kiwis and Americans. Ray Davies set this up early, he thought

:22:18. > :22:21.they were not going to cross and they just pointed at them, they made

:22:22. > :22:26.them do an overly aggressive turn down to avoid the right of way,

:22:26. > :22:31.Emirates Team and, really good match racing, aggressive move by Dean

:22:31. > :22:38.Barker as Michael Dean Barker. Is this sailing's version of chicken? I

:22:38. > :22:42.think that is it exactly, in fact. The Kiwis have the lead, 28 metres

:22:42. > :22:48.and growing, but the Americans are in a better position. If they don't

:22:48. > :22:53.have a cross year, all of a sudden it is the normal Kiwis stretch. They

:22:53. > :22:57.have them into a tacking contest upon the left-hand side. I don't

:22:57. > :23:02.think they had a choice, they had to tack anyway, all of this -- all of a

:23:02. > :23:10.sudden the Kiwis are showing their dominance when it comes to the tack.

:23:10. > :23:16.Disturbed air coming off that big wing of the Kiwis back to the

:23:16. > :23:18.Americans. Interesting that Emirates Team New Zealand decided not to

:23:18. > :23:24.cover in that situation and allowed for a bit of a split. I think they

:23:24. > :23:28.wanted out of the current. One of the things we are learning is that

:23:28. > :23:35.the whole shape of New Zealand is that the unable to do a better job

:23:35. > :23:39.going through the tacks, as we are watching now. The Americans are not

:23:39. > :23:44.able to keep the momentum going through the tacks, that is the

:23:44. > :23:47.difference we are seeing now. Aggressive racing coming from the

:23:47. > :23:51.Kiwis, we will give you an aerial view of that last cross. What

:23:51. > :23:55.exactly are they trying to force the Americans to do two the dial down by

:23:56. > :23:58.Emirates Team New Zealand, they went from a beam to reach, which means

:23:58. > :24:02.they sailed away from the breeze from a beam to reach, which means

:24:02. > :24:07.little bit, forced Oracle to do a much wider turn to avoid them. Watch

:24:07. > :24:11.New Zealand, they will take a left-hand turn and plate chicken,

:24:11. > :24:15.they will force Oracle up high to do a radical turn down that typically

:24:15. > :24:17.gains you about another boat length during the manoeuvre and that is

:24:17. > :24:32.about how much they crossed by. The million-dollar question, Kenny -

:24:32. > :24:37.what can Oracle do to get a sequence to find some pressure, to find

:24:37. > :24:41.anything to get back into this race? I need to hand that one off to our

:24:41. > :24:44.tactician on the water, because they have been forced into the narrow

:24:44. > :24:48.side of the racecourse, again, completely playing into the strategy

:24:48. > :24:53.of Emirates Team New Zealand, which is the better manoeuvring boat. New

:24:53. > :24:56.Zealand have done exactly what they needed to do. Oracle is tacking a

:24:56. > :24:57.little better than we have seen in needed to do. Oracle is tacking a

:24:57. > :25:00.the past, when they are not losing needed to do. Oracle is tacking a

:25:00. > :25:06.quite as much as they have in the past. One of the reasons is the wind

:25:06. > :25:14.is so light. If you are Oracle, you have to stop tacking. Do two quick

:25:14. > :25:19.tacks and that is it. Let's not forget, there is a warm downward

:25:19. > :25:29.leg. The whole game right now is to keep it close.

:25:29. > :25:35.Through the beauty of virtual eye, here you can see the number of

:25:35. > :25:40.tacks, and that is a nightmare for the grinders. A nightmare for the

:25:40. > :25:44.grinders and a nightmare for Oracle, to be honest, this is exactly the

:25:44. > :25:47.strategy they did not want to have. They did not choose it, they have

:25:47. > :25:53.been masterfully bridged into this position by team New Zealand. --

:25:54. > :26:00.pushed into this position by Emirates Team New Zealand. New

:26:00. > :26:04.Zealand's game is to either somehow sit on Oracle's wind or make them

:26:04. > :26:10.add two extra tacks before them mark. There you can see the lead on

:26:10. > :26:16.add two extra tacks before them the course, almost 200m, as they get

:26:16. > :26:17.ready to hit the next mark. The grinders are earning their pay

:26:17. > :26:30.cheque today, Todd. This is where

:26:30. > :26:34.the Coffin, Gary, this is that last tack. If Emirates Team New Zealand

:26:34. > :26:37.can make it in one and force Oracle to do two more tacks, the lead will

:26:37. > :26:41.can make it in one and force Oracle double, may be trouble. Either way,

:26:41. > :26:59.it is a big game for the Kiwis. Yes, the tough thing here for the

:26:59. > :27:02.USA is they have not made any tactical mistakes, it is just bought

:27:02. > :27:08.handling, going through manoeuvres and a little slower speed. --

:27:08. > :27:23.sailboard handling. -- sailboard handling.

:27:23. > :27:31.38-year-old Rob Wynne Dell, number 11, and that is 56-year-old general

:27:31. > :27:40.manager Grant Dalton, out there doing work. Two-time gold medallist

:27:40. > :27:46.Rob, that man rock -- won every single rowing medal in the world for

:27:46. > :27:52.about ten years and he appears desperate to believe. That is an

:27:52. > :27:57.indication they are tired after so many tacks. Todd, this is the

:27:57. > :28:07.punishment team New Zealand was looking for. They set this whether

:28:07. > :28:22.mark up about ten minutes ago. -- weather.

:28:22. > :28:29.And in the light air, here comes the payoff pitch, as Emirates Team New

:28:29. > :28:31.Zealand hits mark number three first and they have pushed the lead to

:28:31. > :28:34.over 200m over the Americans. Look and they have pushed the lead to

:28:34. > :28:57.for the acceleration by the Kiwis. That last tack, that last set up

:28:57. > :29:04.really got on top of Oracle gained them another 200m plus, just I

:29:04. > :29:07.cannot emphasise enough, great job by Ray Davies, setting this whole

:29:07. > :29:13.thing up to really put the nail on the coffin at the last minute. Let's

:29:13. > :29:15.not forget, the Americans had a 12 second lead at the last gate. They

:29:15. > :29:18.are right gate number three second lead at the last gate. They

:29:18. > :29:44.lead has gone up to over 44 seconds for the Kiwis.

:29:44. > :29:51.With a lead of more than 400 metres, the Kiwis bring it around the next

:29:51. > :29:56.mark and they will head for the home line and another victory. It has

:29:56. > :30:02.been an impressive race for Dean Barker and his crews. I just want to

:30:02. > :30:06.remark about the start. One of the reasons New Zealand might be so

:30:06. > :30:09.conservative, they don't want a collision. Their second boat is a

:30:10. > :30:16.long way from being able to sail and it is not that fast. The Oracle boat

:30:16. > :30:22.is ready to sail and it is fast at -- close at speed. You can't afford

:30:22. > :30:26.any collisions out here. As the Americans get to mark number four,

:30:26. > :30:32.still over 35 seconds behind the Kiwis. Barring a major mistake by

:30:32. > :30:36.Dean Barker, which we have not seen in this entire campaign, the Kiwis

:30:36. > :30:41.will strike again. The good news bad news scenario is that they get about

:30:41. > :30:55.30 minutes and then they get to do it all over again.

:30:55. > :30:59.The day so far belongs to the Kiwis as they pick up their fifth win in

:30:59. > :31:06.The day so far belongs to the Kiwis this regatta.

:31:06. > :31:17.As they crossed the line, the deficit will be 47 seconds behind

:31:17. > :31:25.the Kiwis, and the Americans, unable to capitalise on the lead.

:31:25. > :31:32.A little tap on the shoulder from Jimmy Spithill to Ben Ainslie, nice

:31:32. > :31:34.job. I am not sure if there is anything Ben Ainslie could do much

:31:34. > :31:38.better, except for maybe stick a anything Ben Ainslie could do much

:31:38. > :31:46.couple of big engines on the back of Oracle.

:31:46. > :31:54.Then did a great job. They were just able to get ahead of us. That is

:31:54. > :32:02.racing, we have got to regroup. -- Ben did a great job. Although there

:32:02. > :32:05.is room for improvement, Team New Zealand have impressed with boat

:32:05. > :32:08.handling and speed. Even with the most successful Olympic sailor on

:32:08. > :32:17.board, the cup defenders have no riposte. Back to the water and

:32:17. > :32:21.commentary team. Both crews are not exactly shipshape for the start of

:32:21. > :32:26.race seven. Spit Hill, a little bit late getting

:32:26. > :32:33.in, does not fully utilise the ten seconds but the Kiwis are late as

:32:33. > :32:36.well. It seems so obvious but it is really difficult to nail these

:32:36. > :32:59.things, exactly at the time you want to be there.

:32:59. > :33:06.90 seconds from the start as we check in on the water. I like the

:33:06. > :33:07.fact that New Zealand is giving it a bit more separation this time

:33:07. > :33:28.around. That should help them out. Only 15 to kill for the line

:33:28. > :33:35.according to Ray Davies on Team New Zealand. You could see where

:33:35. > :33:45.sometimes the tactician's comments are very different. I like New

:33:45. > :33:49.Zealand's position, being windward will be very helpful on this first

:33:49. > :33:57.leg. Coming up on 35 seconds and the will be very helpful on this first

:33:57. > :34:03.Americans are much deeper, lower in the box. Have they given up a prime

:34:03. > :34:06.position to the Kiwis? It is time and distance now, this will be a

:34:06. > :34:10.relatively even start. There is no way they can hook from this

:34:10. > :34:14.position. It is going to be an even start, something Oracle have shown

:34:14. > :34:21.they have boat speed, they can make it stick. With ten seconds to go,

:34:21. > :34:23.both of them point towards the line for race number seven, Day number

:34:23. > :34:43.four of the America's Cup. Perfect start for Emirates Team New

:34:43. > :34:47.Zealand, exactly on the gun. The Kiwis get the better start but not

:34:48. > :34:53.by much and the disturbed air heads the way of Team USA. Can the Kiwis

:34:53. > :35:00.get over the top of Oracle and give them wing wash like in race one? It

:35:00. > :35:04.looks like they have done it. It is Team New Zealand, the first to mark

:35:04. > :35:08.number one, they have the advantage. What will the Americans

:35:08. > :35:17.do to try to counter the speed of Emirates Team New Zealand?

:35:17. > :35:24.The Americans have seen that Dean Barker was setting up for the early

:35:24. > :35:30.gybe and they decide to go fast, was it a smart move? It is OK, setting a

:35:30. > :35:34.little spirit. You want to get out of the way of the boat if you think

:35:34. > :35:37.you are faster. They had a good gybe on Oracle so let's see if they can

:35:37. > :35:48.set themselves up into position and get over the top.

:35:48. > :35:54.A fantastic boat speed contest. Let's hope that Oracle Team USA is a

:35:54. > :35:57.A fantastic boat speed contest. little quicker on this run. That is

:35:57. > :36:07.what all their supporters are thinking. Travelling at about 36

:36:07. > :36:14.knots, 41.4 mph. The yellow line is the direct line to the next mark.

:36:14. > :36:17.This is leg two of five and it is not good news for Team USA. The

:36:17. > :36:19.Kiwis have the lead not good news for Team USA. The

:36:19. > :36:21.strongest leg has been the one not good news for Team USA. The

:36:21. > :36:31.coming up. The wind picking up to 20 knots,

:36:31. > :36:36.holding steady at 18.7 at eight number two. It will be Emirates Team

:36:36. > :36:41.New Zealand, the challengers. Which way will they go? They opt to go to

:36:41. > :36:46.the right and head closer to shore. It looks like the Americans will

:36:46. > :36:49.follow. Let's see if the Americans try one of these foiling attacks

:36:49. > :36:50.that they tried to pull off yesterday. It is a position where it

:36:50. > :37:09.could work, roll right into a tack. On leg number three, the Americans

:37:09. > :37:10.are the first to tack, can they work out their problems and turn things

:37:10. > :37:22.around against the Kiwis? 66 seconds behind, the answer was an

:37:22. > :37:27.emphatic no. Leg three always seems to be the problem for the defender.

:37:27. > :37:30.As far as the Americans are concerned it is a recurring

:37:30. > :37:38.nightmare. New Zealand have dominated six of the seven races.

:37:38. > :37:44.At this point, you would have to say that clearly they are the faster

:37:44. > :37:49.boat. They are better on downwind, better on our point, they have the

:37:49. > :37:51.starts as a 50-50 but when you are this fast they can split the start

:37:51. > :38:01.-- they are better our point that Gary brought up a great point, the

:38:01. > :38:08.amount of volume in the hulls and Gary brought up a great point, the

:38:08. > :38:16.that has clearly allowed the Kiwis to tack better, it could be the

:38:16. > :38:20.fatal flaw of the design team. The Americans have yet to make it to

:38:20. > :38:22.mark number four. They have closed begat but they are still trailing by

:38:22. > :38:26.mark number four. They have closed 800 metres. -- they have closed the

:38:26. > :38:40.gap. After four days of racing, it is an

:38:40. > :38:42.absolute Kiwi whitewash. They lead it 6-1 as they pick up their second

:38:42. > :39:01.win on the day. Dean Barker and company,

:39:01. > :39:06.congratulations on a masterful job. This time they did get the start,

:39:06. > :39:15.never trails for all five legs and their lead, ballooning up 2-over

:39:15. > :39:21.1000 metres. Even though they won today, you saw a disgusted look.

:39:21. > :39:25.These guys are perfectionists. It was kind of a humiliating start in

:39:25. > :39:40.the first race. He sure made up for it in the second race.

:39:40. > :39:46.Jimmy Spithill is talking about the flyby, they will wave to the crowd

:39:46. > :39:49.but the Americans will finish in the second place for the second time

:39:49. > :39:55.today, more than one minute behind Emirates Team New Zealand.

:39:55. > :40:01.New Zealand only need three more wins to lift the America's Cup, Team

:40:01. > :40:06.USA still not on the scoreboard after being docked two points before

:40:06. > :40:17.the event for illegal modifications. It feels great. It fills nice to

:40:17. > :40:21.have won six races. It is only... It is only two thirds of the way to

:40:21. > :40:25.winning the America's Cup. You have to win nine points. Three more

:40:25. > :40:29.races, although it doesn't sound a lot, is still a lot of hard work and

:40:29. > :40:36.we know that it is far from over. If you have one bad day, things can be

:40:36. > :40:40.quite different. We are under no illusion that we have still got a

:40:40. > :40:44.very hard road ahead. The good thing for us is that we are very happy

:40:44. > :40:50.with the boat, very confident in the way it is going. The more racing we

:40:50. > :40:55.do, the more we learn and it is giving us a lot of confidence for

:40:55. > :40:58.the weekend ahead. I think the question is, imagine if these guys

:40:58. > :41:06.lost from here. What an upset that would be. I mean, they have almost

:41:06. > :41:09.got it in the bag. That is my motivation. That would be one hell

:41:10. > :41:15.of a story. That would be one hell motivation. That would be one hell

:41:16. > :41:20.of a comeback. That is the kind of thing that I would like to be a part

:41:20. > :41:25.of. We are in a tough situation, there is no hiding from that. I'm

:41:25. > :41:29.sure all the viewers and everyone here watching the racing knows we

:41:29. > :41:39.have a bit of a speed disadvantage, especially on the upwind legs. It

:41:39. > :41:47.makes them very difficult to race against. Having said that, this

:41:47. > :41:49.event is by no means over yet. In sports, a lot can happen. A lot can

:41:49. > :41:54.event is by no means over yet. In happen to both teams. From this

:41:54. > :42:03.point onwards. We just have to try to stay as positive as we can and

:42:03. > :42:08.look to make whatever gains we can, and as a sailing team, absolutely,

:42:08. > :42:12.we have to stay positive and race the best that we can. In my Olympic

:42:12. > :42:14.experience I have had plenty of times when I have been on the back

:42:14. > :42:18.experience I have had plenty of foot. In 2012 that was the case and

:42:18. > :42:22.I had to claw the points back to win. This is a similar situation

:42:22. > :42:30.here. I suppose the big difference is that the America's Cup is very

:42:30. > :42:31.much a design race. In the Olympics the performance difference between

:42:31. > :42:39.much a design race. In the Olympics the boat 's is much closer. I think

:42:39. > :42:43.the guys were very positive, we enjoyed the racing. Whilst it is no

:42:43. > :42:53.fundraising, we enjoy the racing and felt we worked really well as Tim --

:42:53. > :42:57.while it is no fun losing. The situation we are in is very strong.

:42:57. > :43:01.We absolutely can go out their positive that as a sailing team we

:43:01. > :43:09.are working well, making good decisions. There is a slight change

:43:09. > :43:13.with the conditions coming up, with the tides and currents in the bay,

:43:13. > :43:19.which might suit us more. We have the improve the performance of the

:43:19. > :43:28.boat in any way that we can, go and race well. No such thing as a rest

:43:28. > :43:31.day for Jimmy Spithill's crew as they go in search of a winning

:43:32. > :43:36.formula. New Zealand know they are very close to victory. With wind

:43:36. > :43:42.forecast -- wind changes forecast, there could be another rheumatic

:43:42. > :43:44.twist. We are here on Sunday to see if the Americans can avoid a

:43:44. > :43:47.whitewash.
