:02:02. > :02:07.all about pace, phenomenal job by Team New Zealand, keeping the
:02:07. > :02:10.overlap. Emirates team New Zealand are now just two wins away from

:02:30. > :02:32.Francisco Bay Dean Barker and his Crewe to negotiate. Yet neither the
:02:33. > :02:38.weather nor the operation run the Kiwi control. We cannot control what
:02:38. > :02:41.they are doing, we can only control what we are doing and we need to
:02:41. > :02:47.keep the game plan the same, take things aggressively and let's hope
:02:47. > :02:50.the conditions are good. We will have two different races in a way,
:02:50. > :02:53.the first one is more medium conditions and then the second one
:02:53. > :02:57.can be quite lumpy with a strong inside, so quite a variety of
:02:57. > :03:03.conditions and I think it will be how well the teams can adapt to the
:03:03. > :03:10.change. Now with a monumental task on their hands, the USA are
:03:10. > :03:15.beginning to sound desperate. It is one race at a time, you know? That
:03:15. > :03:19.has always been our motto and our game plan, really. Today is no
:03:19. > :03:24.different. It will be interesting to see the birds in the first race. --
:03:24. > :03:29.boats. It doesn't change our strategy, it is one race at the
:03:29. > :03:34.time. With the Babos my forecast, it was touch and go whether racing
:03:34. > :03:39.would get the nod -- with today's forecast. What would be As the
:03:39. > :03:42.series has shown, getting to the first market is crucial. It has
:03:42. > :03:47.often seen some of the highest speeds on the course, but strict
:03:47. > :03:51.rules decide who can do what. The imaginary circle represents three
:03:51. > :03:55.boat lengths from the mark, so if the boats are level going into it,
:03:55. > :04:00.the inside boat has right of way, indicated to the Crewe by a green
:04:00. > :04:04.flashing light on the yacht. Turning first is a huge advantage, and
:04:04. > :04:10.knowing that boat the best line towards the next mark. But the rules
:04:10. > :04:13.are slightly different if one boathouse and advantage entering the
:04:13. > :04:17.zone. In this case, the leading boat goes around first and the trailing
:04:17. > :04:20.yacht cannot cut inside, leaving the boat in front with all of the
:04:20. > :04:26.advantages of rending the mark first. The man who has had to make
:04:26. > :04:31.some tough decisions this series is race Officer Harold Bennett. Tuesday
:04:31. > :04:38.was a blow out, and today looked like being another nervous few hours
:04:38. > :04:42.for. -- for him. So with USA against the ropes, let's see if they can get
:04:42. > :04:46.out of jail with our commentary team.
:04:46. > :04:52.The current is going to be sweeping out of San Francisco Bay. It going
:04:52. > :04:56.to get stronger. With that, the waves are going to get bigger, so
:04:56. > :04:59.these sailors are going to have to be able to shift gears with the
:04:59. > :05:04.changing conditions. Like Dean Barker said, I want to watch the
:05:04. > :05:08.sport. It is going to be good today. More from Gary Johnson throughout
:05:08. > :05:14.the day, and there is some animation showing you just how strong the ebb
:05:14. > :05:21.tidies, flowing out of the San Francisco Bay. The ebb current
:05:21. > :05:26.flowing at two knots. What will affect this the most is the start.
:05:26. > :05:29.The boat entering the port entry first is New Zealand in this race.
:05:29. > :05:32.They have had a big advantage because of this ebb current in the
:05:32. > :05:35.They have had a big advantage last three startss, so look for that
:05:35. > :05:39.to happen right out of the gates for the Kiwis. Then we get into
:05:39. > :05:42.to happen right out of the gates for racecourse, it is the same one, this
:05:42. > :05:48.quick blast reach towards the shoreline. We go one and a half laps
:05:48. > :05:53.up and down the waterfront. Again, this is a great new feature to this
:05:53. > :05:57.America's Cup. And then the quick reach back into the finish right of
:05:57. > :06:02.America's Cup. And then the quick America's Cup Park.
:06:03. > :06:08.So there you see the current, as the countdown continues. The flags are
:06:08. > :06:13.up and we are now under three minutes to go. At 2:10pm, the
:06:13. > :06:17.Emirates team New Zealand will enter at the left side of your screen.
:06:18. > :06:21.They have an advantage to get in there, some may argue whether it is
:06:21. > :06:28.an advantage or not, but it is for safety purposes. It is and this ebb
:06:28. > :06:32.current has affected the prerace strategy that these guys. Being able
:06:32. > :06:36.to enter the box early has allowed these guys to set up what is called
:06:36. > :06:38.lowering the box, away from the wind as we see it pan out on the left
:06:38. > :06:43.lowering the box, away from the wind side of the screen. The other boat
:06:44. > :06:49.has had a hard time matching that. But pushing and blocking, the
:06:49. > :06:53.blogger seems to have an advantage. So the Emirates team New Zealand
:06:53. > :06:57.gets to put Bears then first, and the Americans have to respond, and
:06:57. > :07:03.the strategy is on. Dean Barker coming close to the line, they are
:07:03. > :07:11.now in the start box, and we are set to go racing. They number eight,
:07:11. > :07:15.race 11. I think the pressure is squarely on Oracle. It is probably
:07:15. > :07:18.an understatement. Team New Zealand, if they think about this, they can
:07:18. > :07:22.sail pretty loose, really the aggressive at the start. If I was
:07:22. > :07:25.them, I would be super aggressive, because if you win the start, there
:07:25. > :07:30.is a reasonable chance you can go on to win the race.
:07:30. > :07:37.One quid difference between the two boats, I noticed that the New
:07:37. > :07:43.Zealand forward sale is larger in area than the American boat. You
:07:43. > :07:49.think that is an advantage for the Kiwis or the Americans got it wrong?
:07:49. > :07:52.I think both of them know what it means, both of the boats are
:07:52. > :07:53.different in the way they are balanced and I think we cannot doubt
:07:53. > :07:55.that these guys have the correct jib balanced and I think we cannot doubt
:07:55. > :08:08.up for the conditions. Team New Zealand are actually
:08:08. > :08:12.heading back to the start line earlier than I thought they would in
:08:12. > :08:14.this particular situation. Look for them to really protect down to the
:08:14. > :08:17.this particular situation. Look for left, down to the left side of their
:08:17. > :08:31.boat, as Oracle approaches from behind.
:08:31. > :08:40.You could hear Ray Davies saying, " same as the other day". They are
:08:40. > :08:43.going to protect that bottom left side.
:08:43. > :09:01.A big advantage to the Kiwis right now, the boat is very firm on the
:09:01. > :09:08.wind, Gary. New Zealand are looking very strong, Ken.
:09:08. > :09:14.The all clear has sounded and the Kiwis will have the advantage at the
:09:14. > :09:21.line, better positioning, and they are closer to Mark no-one. And they
:09:21. > :09:24.are going to get them slow. Even though the starting gun has already
:09:24. > :09:25.gone, they are going to try and get them slow and make a big gain once
:09:26. > :09:38.the speed really comes. Great job by Dean Barker, really
:09:38. > :09:41.well thought out. Again, that port entry was the difference. They have
:09:42. > :09:51.never relinquished being the blocker in that starting sequence. I think
:09:51. > :09:52.they are doing a good job to hang in there, only being a length behind
:09:52. > :10:01.after a poor start. Now it is the drag race to
:10:01. > :10:06.no-one. Emirates team New Zealand first to the circle, they will make
:10:06. > :10:08.the left-hand turn, with the Americans close behind. This is race
:10:08. > :10:11.number 11 on day number eight and it Americans close behind. This is race
:10:12. > :10:28.is a three second advantage to the Kiwis. And the Americans are the
:10:28. > :10:32.first to peel off. You have heard the tactician Ray Davies on-board
:10:32. > :10:35.Emirates team New Zealand, saying they will drag it out a little
:10:35. > :10:40.longer, they are not worried about the air, dirty air, disturbed air
:10:40. > :10:44.coming from Oracle, they are just looking to spread it out and start
:10:44. > :11:00.planning later in the leg. Find the right time and the breeze pressure.
:11:00. > :11:05.As New Zealand executes their first job, we go back and look at Mark
:11:05. > :11:11.no-one and we go back to the start, this is where it all happened. --
:11:11. > :11:17.Mark no-one. Basically shutting it down. They had to pull away, it
:11:17. > :11:22.couldn't wait any longer, they had just snuck forward enough to break
:11:22. > :11:24.the overlap, so Oracle got out of jail by the overlap being broken.
:11:24. > :11:38.Still, great job by Dean Barker. And the call for the Garraway as the
:11:38. > :11:44.Americans try to get up to speed. The hull is really down deep in the
:11:44. > :11:47.water. The Americans are really narrow, the bow section of their
:11:47. > :11:51.boat tends to dig in when they accelerate but it didn't make much
:11:51. > :11:55.of a difference, they were upon the foils quick. The lead is over 115
:11:55. > :12:00.metres, it is the Kiwis out in front, the Americans are trying to
:12:00. > :12:03.close the gap. This is a five legged race, this is the first scheduled
:12:03. > :12:05.for today and a five legged race, this is the first scheduled for
:12:05. > :12:09.today and mother nature cooperates, we will have a second race in which
:12:09. > :12:23.the Kiwis, if they win, can wrap it up and take home the America's Cup.
:12:23. > :12:32.Dean Barker very happy with that jibe. I noticed the American boat is
:12:33. > :12:36.sailing a much lower scores than the American boat and they are able to
:12:36. > :12:45.gain by doing that -- a much lower course.
:12:45. > :12:55.There's not much in this now. It is amazing, two boats going at 38 knots
:12:55. > :12:59.and there will only be a meter here or there being gained or lost
:12:59. > :13:01.between the two boats. It shows you have far this sport has come, how
:13:01. > :13:22.far the America's Cup has come. And as they approach gate number
:13:22. > :13:26.two, Gary Jobson, what you see as far as tactics, which way will the
:13:26. > :13:30.Kiwis go, well they look for a split? I think the Kiwis have got to
:13:30. > :13:34.use the ebb current, it will be stronger out in the middle of the
:13:34. > :13:39.bay. They will look for the New Zealand team to take the right gate
:13:39. > :13:45.and the USA to take the left. I think the Kiwis have done a nice
:13:45. > :13:49.job, sending Oracle off to one side of the racecourse. This will
:13:49. > :13:53.potentially increase the possibility is not having a split, and when you
:13:53. > :13:57.are the boat at head, you don't want a split at this bottom gate, you
:13:57. > :14:01.want both of the boats going around the same side. Just as I said that,
:14:01. > :14:09.I think we heard speak ill the same side. Just as I said that,
:14:09. > :14:11.Right turn" -- speed Hill. This is a really tough manoeuvre if you are
:14:11. > :14:28.Oracle USA. And that mark number two, the
:14:28. > :14:36.Americans do indeed split the course. So what was a three second
:14:36. > :14:41.lead at mark number one, the Americans now trailed by six
:14:41. > :14:45.seconds. That is an incredibly hard manoeuvre on these boats, grinding
:14:45. > :14:47.hydraulics, grinding sales, grinding dagger boards up and down and they
:14:47. > :15:13.made it look very easy. Keep going. Nice and smooth.
:15:13. > :15:16.And we have a lead change as the Americans have overtaken New Zealand
:15:17. > :15:21.here on Lake number three. The big question now is, can they make it
:15:22. > :15:25.stick? They are one tack behind. Now it will be this incredible contest
:15:25. > :15:31.up you get the right hand side again. It could be that this tipping
:15:31. > :15:41.contest of who keeps trying to get starboard tack advantage. As I look
:15:41. > :15:46.up the racecourse, I think the right side, where the wind is shifting in
:15:46. > :16:14.that direction, is better for New Zealand.
:16:14. > :16:18.This is about whether team New Zealand will have a lead. If not
:16:18. > :16:33.they will have to start this tipping contest again. This is a great move
:16:34. > :17:19.by Emirates Team New Zealand. Here they go, they will go right
:17:19. > :17:25.back at them. A simultaneous attack from the Americans and New Zealand.
:17:25. > :17:26.This is lead 35, race number 11. The Kiwis need two more wins and the
:17:26. > :17:41.race is theirs. This graphic shows that the current
:17:42. > :17:49.is negligible at this stage. There is no favourite side. Let's see if
:17:49. > :17:50.the Kiwis bounce these guys the other way. I am surprised they
:17:50. > :18:06.don't. The bigger jib that New Zealand has
:18:06. > :18:15.is helping them go with these manoeuvres. I am surprised they did
:18:15. > :18:18.not continue that bouncing contest, and by bouncing Amin tacking on top
:18:18. > :18:25.of the other boat and pushing them to the short side of the racetrack.
:18:25. > :18:57.Still a good move by Oracle to keep the tacks going.
:18:57. > :19:02.And the Kiwis decided now is the time to attack with a lead of more
:19:02. > :19:06.than 100 metres but it will shrink here on this manoeuvre. The Kiwis
:19:06. > :19:28.have the lead on Lake number three. Question is, can they hold onto it.
:19:28. > :19:33.Emirates Team New Zealand with the lead on both the course and the
:19:33. > :19:37.scoreboard. Looking to wrap up the America's Cup today on day number
:19:37. > :19:39.eight. Two more wins and Dean Barker and company are taking the cup back
:19:39. > :20:18.to Auckland. Halfway through leg three, the
:20:18. > :20:21.Emirates Team New Zealand boat has a lead by about 18 metres. The
:20:21. > :20:25.Americans trying to find a sweet spot on this course, but right now
:20:25. > :20:31.the Kiwis are firmly in control of this race, and dictating pretty much
:20:31. > :20:35.where the Americans are going. Both boats are working on the left-hand
:20:35. > :20:38.side of the racecourse, so hard, you have to believe they can see
:20:38. > :20:44.something out there they believe to be favoured on this left-hand side.
:20:44. > :20:59.They are working on the left side, it is stronger and longer the
:20:59. > :21:04.shoreline. -- along the shoreline. Ben Ainslie saying, we have got to
:21:04. > :21:05.go straight here for a little while. The current does look better on the
:21:05. > :21:23.left side of the course. Left-hander, the winds coming from
:21:23. > :21:34.the side. That will help New Zealand. We are not singing either
:21:34. > :21:38.boat with any sort of speed advantage right now. This is a
:21:38. > :21:42.tactician's race as much as any other race we have seen in this
:21:42. > :21:48.event. Ben Ainslie acting as tactician for Oracle team USA, and
:21:48. > :21:56.Ray Davies, the 41-year-old from New Zealand, is Dean Barker's tactician
:21:56. > :21:59.for Emirates. And the Americans going to the right side of the
:21:59. > :22:14.course are starting to close the gap, now within 60 metres.
:22:14. > :22:22.And today you see just how close it is, with the Americans just sailing
:22:22. > :22:27.a little bit faster. It is just incredible speeds, these boats
:22:27. > :22:33.started this at the beginning of the week going 22, 23 knots, here they
:22:33. > :22:42.are going 28 or 29. These guys are out in the middle of the racecourse,
:22:43. > :22:48.they were. To stir it up again. -- they will start to stir it up again.
:22:48. > :22:55.New Zealand will keep the starboard advantage by keeping going here. And
:22:55. > :23:02.the Kiwis decided now is the time to attack. As the Americans tack back
:23:02. > :23:06.and look for the cross, how much could you still from their boat? I
:23:06. > :23:10.don't think we have ever seen such a tight tacking contest ever in
:23:10. > :23:19.catamarans. It shows how equalled these boats actually are. The wind
:23:19. > :23:29.is increasing appear, which will favour the boat ahead. -- increasing
:23:29. > :23:32.up here. They will start looking to minimise manoeuvres here. If team
:23:32. > :23:36.New Zealand can do one more attack, they will probably do that and take
:23:36. > :23:40.the right-hand gate as we look out towards the Golden Gate Bridge.
:23:40. > :23:43.Looking to lead number four, which side of the course would you want to
:23:43. > :23:46.Looking to lead number four, which be on? You get starboard tack
:23:46. > :23:53.advantage, you round the right-hand gate. If the boats came together on
:23:53. > :23:58.that first crossing on the run, New Zealand would have the advantage.
:23:58. > :24:06.You want to stay away from the land gumming downwind unlike four. --
:24:06. > :24:11.O-rings downwind on leg four. The Kiwis take it all the way to delay
:24:11. > :24:15.line on the left side of the course. We will see if they can take it in
:24:15. > :24:21.all the way. Jimmy Spithill and company looked like they are set up,
:24:21. > :24:29.as well. That was not Oracle's test tack there. They got down to ten
:24:30. > :24:38.knots. New Zealand did a really nice job at the top of this leg. Very
:24:38. > :24:46.close cross here. But New Zealand are looking good.
:24:46. > :24:54.The Kiwis who had the six second lead at Mach number two will
:24:54. > :24:58.continue to pound that lead, this time it will be into the double
:24:58. > :25:03.digits as the Americans come through at gate number three and make the
:25:03. > :25:04.turn for home, they are now trailing Emirates Team New Zealand by 17
:25:04. > :25:31.seconds. Oracle team USA got into an
:25:31. > :25:34.attacking jewel on leg number three. Unfortunately for the Americans it
:25:34. > :25:39.did not go their way. Emirates, who had been closed down by 25 metres to
:25:39. > :26:08.the Americans, now have a sizeable lead of almost 200 metres.
:26:08. > :26:17.In a perfect example of how one mistake can cost you a race, Oracle
:26:17. > :26:21.team USA had one bad tacks on the upward leg and now they find
:26:21. > :26:26.themselves, moments ago they were 25 metres behind the Kiwis, now almost
:26:26. > :26:29.300 metres. They had to do one extra tacks, I think that was even more
:26:29. > :26:34.important. Team New Zealand did a really nice job of bouncing them
:26:34. > :26:39.want additional time, setting up, they only had to do one tap into
:26:39. > :26:41.that gate compare to Oracle's to tacks. That is the advantage of the
:26:41. > :27:01.boat ahead. Got a quick shot that of Ray Davies
:27:01. > :27:02.comedy tactician for Emirates Team New Zealand, calling the race for
:27:02. > :27:08.comedy tactician for Emirates Team Dean, the skipper. -- from Dean
:27:08. > :27:27.Barker, the skipper. As we said on leg number one, the
:27:27. > :27:32.smallest differences in boat speed means it turned into a tactician's
:27:32. > :27:38.race. Ray Davies, he nailed it, making record do to gybes. We will
:27:38. > :27:42.know how nervous team New Zealand is in the second if they do to gybes to
:27:42. > :27:49.get over Oracle. They seem pretty comfortable right now. Let's go to
:27:49. > :27:53.Gary Jobson for more on the measurement configurations. It seems
:27:53. > :27:58.to me that Oracle might have changed their boat to make it a little bit
:27:58. > :28:01.better for my two wins, which weren't forecasted. Now the wind is
:28:01. > :28:07.up, they might have slowed themselves down. They have closed
:28:07. > :28:14.the gap which was over 300 metres, it is now just over 200 metres, so
:28:14. > :28:18.the Americans are gaining. But will they run out of real estate on the
:28:18. > :28:24.San Francisco Bay? They are on a lower angle out here, it looks to be
:28:24. > :28:28.a fairly dramatic wind shift. They are staying parallel to the
:28:28. > :28:33.boundary. It is a very different cause right now that the two of them
:28:33. > :28:38.are failing. If I was on Emirates Team New Zealand I would be getting
:28:38. > :28:42.nervous. It is a classic case where you want to cover, you have a 300
:28:42. > :28:50.metre lead, New Zealand should have dived over and stayed in front. Now,
:28:50. > :28:54.the race is almost over. What was a 300 metre lead is now down to 153
:28:54. > :29:00.metres. Right now Oracle is laying this game and team New Zealand has
:29:00. > :29:06.to do to gybes. This is going to be pretty close. To translate that, are
:29:07. > :29:13.the Americans looking straight into Mach number four without any more
:29:13. > :29:29.gybes? In a perfect world, they are, but the -- this is the defining
:29:29. > :29:39.moment in the race. They need to block the wind of Oracle team USA,
:29:39. > :30:01.so team USA is in the driving seat. It lifted a little bit as the two
:30:01. > :30:07.boats have come together. it is now under 100 metres, the lead for the
:30:07. > :30:10.Kiwis. A little pressure showing New Zealand, that wasn't their best
:30:10. > :30:18.gybe. Still a little loose after the gybe.
:30:18. > :30:29.Both boats are going to have soak to get around this Mark
:30:29. > :30:37.. At mark number four, the races on. The Kiwis have a link wished a
:30:37. > :30:44.huge lead that was over 300 metres, now it down to about 85 -- the Kiwis
:30:44. > :30:49.have relinquished a huge lead. Both boats got really slow, though both
:30:49. > :30:52.overstepped the mark, both being upwind, but it doesn't seem to
:30:52. > :30:58.matter, New Zealanders in a dominant position again. On-board Oracle team
:30:58. > :31:00.USA as they make the mark, 18 position again. On-board Oracle team
:31:00. > :31:20.seconds behind. I think the look on Jimmy
:31:20. > :31:26.Spithill's face told the entire story. The body language, it looked
:31:26. > :31:30.as though Emirates team New Zealand had given them the opening but as
:31:31. > :31:36.you pointed out, not their best gybe in this regatta. Talk about being
:31:36. > :31:39.under pressure, they have got the America's Cup peeking around the
:31:39. > :31:43.corner, it's just wasn't their best gybe. They just need to be smoother
:31:44. > :31:49.in those tight spots, it was just enough to stay ahead. If that wind
:31:49. > :31:52.had stayed the same direction for Oracle team USA for about 30 more
:31:52. > :32:01.seconds, they would have been exactly even. The wind did them in.
:32:01. > :32:04.A day number eight, race number 11 belongs to Emirates team New
:32:04. > :32:18.Zealand. The Kiwis are now just one win away from the America's Cup.
:32:18. > :32:28.And the Americans, with a fantastic third and fourth leg, it just wasn't
:32:28. > :32:29.to be. As Gary pointed out, the wind did them in and they didn't have
:32:29. > :32:47.enough pressure to catch up. So the Kiwis are now on the
:32:47. > :32:51.precipice of taking away the America's Cup from Oracle team USA.
:32:51. > :32:56.Race number 11 goes to Emirates team New Zealand. Dean Barker and his
:32:56. > :33:00.tactician Ray Davies, a fantastic job, and they now will begin the
:33:00. > :33:08.set-up for what could be the defining moment for Emirates team
:33:08. > :33:14.New Zealand. It is so hard. Monumental battles. You are just
:33:15. > :33:20.thankful for every win you get and if we can get one more, that would
:33:20. > :33:26.be very cool but we are not even contemplating what would happen.
:33:26. > :33:33.Yes, obviously we messed up the timings from the start, straight out
:33:33. > :33:37.of the jar we were late, so a big mistake, but the boys put in a great
:33:37. > :33:40.effort and I really started to grind them down, it was on until
:33:40. > :33:45.effort and I really started to grind finish. We just have to get on with
:33:45. > :33:50.the next one. It is not over. It is a long way from over.
:33:50. > :33:54.As the series has gone on, the races have got progressively tighter, but
:33:54. > :33:58.New Zealand still have the edge and are now just one elusive win away.
:33:58. > :34:01.Glory won't just be for the team, it is also for the New Zealand
:34:02. > :34:09.taxpayer, who have backed this Kiwi campaign. So we are all poised for a
:34:09. > :34:17.dramatic decider on the choppy waters. Here is race 12.
:34:17. > :34:30.COMMENTATOR: I wonder what is going through Jimmy Spithill's mine. They
:34:30. > :34:35.have worked so hard to get to this place, literally the years. It is
:34:35. > :34:38.like a young basketball player, a young kid who has practised his
:34:38. > :34:42.whole life for that three second shot. That is him right now. They
:34:42. > :34:48.can win this race, the windows up, they have the port entry and a good
:34:48. > :34:53.attitude, go and win the race -- the wind is up. Larry Ellison, Russell
:34:53. > :34:58.Coutts, they have held onto the cup wind is up. Larry Ellison, Russell
:34:58. > :35:02.and here they are on home waters and Team New Zealand are making very few
:35:02. > :35:07.mistakes. Ray Davies may be the best tactician in the world and Dean
:35:07. > :35:10.Barker is certainly one of the best skippers in the world. Ray Davies
:35:10. > :35:16.had made a name for himself prior to this event but he exits with a win,
:35:16. > :35:31.he exits this event as a star for Team New Zealand in the series.
:35:31. > :35:38.Is of the Americans have entered and now the race is on for the America's
:35:38. > :35:43.Cup. Can Oracle team USA hold onto it will this be the knockout punch
:35:43. > :35:46.from the Kiwis? I look at the Kiwis to try a different strategy here,
:35:46. > :35:48.maybe to try and cut in front of Oracle and the really early back to
:35:48. > :35:52.the start. No matter what, Oracle and the really early back to
:35:52. > :35:56.method of the pushing and blocking has not worked but the boat coming
:35:56. > :36:18.from the right-hand side. Let's see if try something new. -- if they
:36:18. > :36:26.tried. We check in with Gary Johnson. The starting line is
:36:26. > :36:52.slanted, that could help the winning boat, even though the current is up.
:36:52. > :36:57.We are talking about killing time here, both boats are fairly far away
:36:57. > :37:02.We are talking about killing time from the starting line. Looks like
:37:02. > :37:04.the Kiwis are nearly up to speed, are they going to try and hit the
:37:04. > :37:19.single time in distance? Knights move by New Zealand. -- nice
:37:19. > :37:22.move. The Kiwis are trying to create a gap so they can accelerate but I
:37:22. > :37:26.think they are going to get blocked out again. Here they come, looking
:37:26. > :37:36.for that weather and start, gaining acceleration early. Too much wind.
:37:36. > :37:45.And just before they hit the line, the race has been postponed. So the
:37:45. > :37:52.wind limit was reached. Who does this hurt more? Oh, no. That is
:37:52. > :38:01.remarkable. What a shame. All of the Kiwi fans will be saying right now
:38:01. > :38:05.that the Kiwis had their start won, but Oracle would maintain that they
:38:05. > :38:11.fouled them by trying to blast by them. New Zealand is taken that wind
:38:11. > :38:18.would position with the slanted line work that well. Oracle definitely
:38:18. > :38:22.drew a flag and protest against the Kiwis in that situation. I'm not
:38:22. > :38:26.sure they didn't foul them, they tried to rip it right by them,
:38:26. > :38:29.Oracle has the right of way. They never got close to within a length,
:38:29. > :38:35.New Zealand would have been fine, but it is a moot point. The big
:38:35. > :38:38.question is, do they know the race has been called off? Emirates team
:38:38. > :38:47.New Zealand look like they are in full race mode. They will certainly
:38:47. > :38:53.come alongside quickly, the Coast Guard, and tell them.
:38:53. > :39:01.We still have 22 minutes, so they could still get a race in here
:39:01. > :39:09.today. By the way, we missed by two tenths of
:39:09. > :39:16.of knot. How close was it? 15 seconds. Had they started, it would
:39:16. > :39:21.have been a five-minute average, it probably would have been okayed. We
:39:21. > :39:27.keep hitting the wind limit every minute, it is taking us over, so we
:39:27. > :39:32.have only got three more minutes to get it in before the latest possible
:39:32. > :39:36.race start and we will keep going up to that, but it is not looking
:39:37. > :39:49.promising all of a sudden. Safety has been paramount for everyone
:39:49. > :39:53.involved in this America's's Cup. Iain Murray had delayed the race
:39:54. > :39:56.until he was left with no option. So too much wind, too much tied, but
:39:56. > :40:02.New Zealand are a step closer to too much wind, too much tied, but
:40:02. > :40:08.taking the America's Cup home. They lead the series eight -1. We wanted
:40:08. > :40:11.to race. You know, we enjoy getting out there on the boat and it was a
:40:11. > :40:16.beautiful breeze, it is unfortunate not to be able to do the afternoon
:40:16. > :40:19.race, but Iain Murray has the limits that he is stuck with and he can
:40:19. > :40:25.only do what he can do. Both teams probably would liked to have raced,
:40:25. > :40:29.but he has got to stick by those limits that are set and we have got
:40:29. > :40:37.to obey them, so that is just the limits that are set and we have got
:40:37. > :40:43.way it is. We're happy to be in a good position. It was all was going
:40:43. > :40:49.to be a tough ask for the second race with the way the breeze built,
:40:49. > :40:57.probably more quickly than we expected and we had just over three
:40:57. > :41:07.knots of calmer, so it drags you down at the start. We have had one
:41:07. > :41:09.hell of a battle on our hands here. But we have witnessed some
:41:09. > :41:13.incredible comebacks in sport and it is never over until it is over. I
:41:13. > :41:17.have said it all along, this team will fight all the way till the end,
:41:17. > :41:21.we will not give up and like I said, stranger things have happened and
:41:21. > :41:27.there is a lot of history in sport teams coming back huge deficits. San
:41:27. > :41:30.Francisco Bay has been an incredible place to sale, reliable and its
:41:30. > :41:42.conditions and I think that has made this event pretty spectacular. San
:41:42. > :41:47.Francisco Bay and the sure, it is something that has got to go forward
:41:47. > :41:50.with this event. I think all of the guys here would agree that we have
:41:50. > :41:55.enjoyed this racing immensely. It has been a huge challenge to learn
:41:55. > :42:00.to sail these boats in the finals and it has been unbelievable, so
:42:00. > :42:02.moving forward, it really comes down to if you want to carry on with the
:42:02. > :42:12.development of this type of class or to if you want to carry on with the
:42:12. > :42:18.do we want to go back to monohulls, and what we want to do to have to
:42:18. > :42:22.keep costs down for more teams to compete? It doesn't mean a smaller
:42:22. > :42:26.boat has to be more cost-effective, it comes down to the people, that is
:42:26. > :42:29.one of the issues with the budgets of these teams. All of these things
:42:29. > :42:31.have to come into consideration when you are deciding on the type of boat
:42:31. > :42:36.have to come into consideration when for the future of the America's Cup.
:42:36. > :42:40.This has ticked all of the boxes, grateful competitors and spectators
:42:40. > :42:44.and we have introduced it to a bigger audience. Certainly in the
:42:44. > :42:51.USA, people had a preconceived idea of what the America's Cup was and
:42:51. > :42:53.what the sailors are, but it has totally re-educated people and
:42:54. > :42:58.re-engage people back into the sport. Thoughts are beginning to
:42:58. > :43:03.turn to the future, but there is still a cup to be one. The Kiwis are
:43:03. > :43:07.on match point. The Americans must win to keep the series alive.
:43:07. > :43:11.Weather permitting, we are back together at 1:30pm on BBC Two to see
:43:11. > :43:12.if New Zealand can re-establish themselves as the world's greatest
:43:12. > :43:15.sailors.
