:00:32. > :00:38.It is sailing's Holy Grail. Five challengers came to Bermuda,
:00:39. > :00:51.fighting for the rights to tackle the defenders. It was never plain
:00:52. > :00:59.sailing. Britain had high hopes but the bell told in the semifinals for
:01:00. > :01:02.Land Rover BAR. One by one the challengers fell. New Zealand may
:01:03. > :01:09.have been battered and bruised but they had been the fastest. They are
:01:10. > :01:19.the Challenger. Oracle USA are ready. The waiting is over. It is
:01:20. > :01:22.the 35th America's Cup match. The Great Sound in Bermuda has provided
:01:23. > :01:26.the perfect racetrack for the fastest boats in America's Cup
:01:27. > :01:31.history, but just who has got the edge in this rematch between Oracle
:01:32. > :01:35.Team USA and New Zealand? And can the Kiwis banish the memories of
:01:36. > :01:41.that meltdown in San Francisco four years ago? New Zealand had a
:01:42. > :01:45.seemingly unbreakable grip on the cup. They led by eight races to one
:01:46. > :01:52.but in an astonishing comeback, Oracle, with Ben Ainslie on board,
:01:53. > :01:57.won eight consecutive races to retain the cup and shatter the
:01:58. > :02:01.expectant nation. We are approaching this to win it. Team New Zealand are
:02:02. > :02:06.fantastic team. They have shown that in the final series. We are
:02:07. > :02:11.preparing for the fight of our lives. Quite honestly, we can't
:02:12. > :02:15.wait. It is why we do it. It will be a hell of a show. Both teams have
:02:16. > :02:24.done a lot of sailing over the last couple of weeks. We had a good race
:02:25. > :02:28.earlier on. Full credit to the other challengers. They put on a massive
:02:29. > :02:35.show against us. Also BAR. They were strong. The support we get from back
:02:36. > :02:40.home, the Kiwi fans of the best fans in the world. Do have them behind us
:02:41. > :02:44.really does excite us and drive us a little bit harder to try and take
:02:45. > :02:48.the win. Light winds for the start of this America's Cup could well
:02:49. > :02:52.play into the hands of New Zealand. Let's see if Jimmy Spithill and
:02:53. > :02:54.Oracle Team USA can answer that. Let's join the commentary team Alex
:02:55. > :03:04.Deakin and Ken Reid. Different dynamic to the match
:03:05. > :03:12.racing. It is the match. That much greater pressure and strain and
:03:13. > :03:16.stress on both of the cruise. Oracle led very early back to the starting
:03:17. > :03:21.line. 48 seconds to kill and look how close they are to the start
:03:22. > :03:27.line. Little stunts by the New Zealanders. They have that option
:03:28. > :03:32.now if they want to push and press and be the aggressors. There goes
:03:33. > :03:44.New Zealand trying to come in and possibly do a little work. -- hook.
:03:45. > :03:48.The timing of these manoeuvres as we have seen over the last couple of
:03:49. > :03:53.weeks is key. New Zealand are closer to the starting line. They will pull
:03:54. > :03:55.the trigger several seconds early and have more pace. Oracle is so
:03:56. > :04:01.close to the start, struggling to keep fit. New Zealand is going to be
:04:02. > :04:07.way faster at the start of this America's Cup in Peter Burling does
:04:08. > :04:11.it right. America is a way that with a penalty right at the outset. Jimmy
:04:12. > :04:18.Spithill has gone that line too quickly. Peter Burling will be able
:04:19. > :04:25.to capitalise from here. He can just hang out right now. Oracle is going
:04:26. > :04:32.to have to slow down until they are two full boat lengths behind New
:04:33. > :04:38.Zealand. Unforced error. Maybe from two weeks off and a bit of lack of
:04:39. > :04:41.practice. That area where so many people thought the Americans were
:04:42. > :04:48.hold the edge. The start line, the pre-start in itself. They thought
:04:49. > :04:54.Peter Burling was possibly weak in that department. But it is the Kiwi
:04:55. > :05:04.boat, Emirates Team New Zealand, who are racing towards Martone and
:05:05. > :05:18.already reaching great speeds. -- towards Mark City Mark one.
:05:19. > :05:24.This is what the world has been looking for. We have not had much of
:05:25. > :05:28.a speed test here. Attacking and diving. We note that team New
:05:29. > :05:37.Zealand is very strong in this light breeze. The breezes down a little
:05:38. > :05:41.bit. We are down to nine knots. Let's see how Oracle competes in
:05:42. > :05:45.this jiving and attacking, these manoeuvres, compared to the really
:05:46. > :05:58.sharp package that we have seen from the Kiwi boat. The first jibe from
:05:59. > :06:00.the Americans. Just look at that setting. Just look at that water.
:06:01. > :06:24.What a venue for a top-flight sport! Oracle got so close, so tight,
:06:25. > :06:29.pulling the trigger early. I am surprised Peter Burling did that. He
:06:30. > :06:37.must just have decided to take his time. Once you are over early, just
:06:38. > :06:41.to drop back two boat length is nearly impossible. Acceleration in
:06:42. > :06:51.like there is such a critical factor. -- acceleration in light air
:06:52. > :07:01.is such a critical factor. Oracle really had a tough time. We can see
:07:02. > :07:08.the American crew and can contrast it with the Kiwis. The legs driving
:07:09. > :07:20.the hydraulic power through the boat. It has worked very well for
:07:21. > :07:26.them as they head round. Very stable, very consistent, very
:07:27. > :07:32.comfortable. Peter Burling said big game for us, boys. That means it is
:07:33. > :07:41.puffy, easterly breeze. Almost flawless on the tack, which is
:07:42. > :07:45.something we keep seeing. We have gone on about it. But conditions.
:07:46. > :08:00.USA went from just behind to quite far behind in no time. New Zealand
:08:01. > :08:06.tacks early to try and control their position. New Zealand with a healthy
:08:07. > :08:13.lead at the moment beyond 150 metres. Seemingly enjoying
:08:14. > :08:16.themselves in these early exchanges. It has been noticeable how relaxed
:08:17. > :08:22.they have appeared on the water and off it. I got to spend some time
:08:23. > :08:26.with them the other night. Most of the crew were at a casual dinner
:08:27. > :08:33.setting. You would have thought they were going out for a Tuesday night
:08:34. > :08:36.race at their local yacht club. I guess it is something... We
:08:37. > :08:39.shouldn't be surprised any more. It has been a consistent theme
:08:40. > :08:47.throughout the event and we just shouldn't be surprised. In the
:08:48. > :08:56.bottom left-hand corner, on the racecourse, going up to gate number
:08:57. > :08:58.three. This is a microcosm of the entire, narrow, rectangular
:08:59. > :09:01.racecourse. Just to show everybody at home in the world where they are
:09:02. > :09:10.in the racecourse and where they are heading. They are going up to gate
:09:11. > :09:18.number three. The difference in the foils is immediately obvious. The
:09:19. > :09:25.kink on the Kiwi foil. Both boats with their big air packages. The
:09:26. > :09:31.kink versus very straight. All of the foils are quite long. The longer
:09:32. > :09:35.it is, the easier it is to lift, which is a necessity in light air,
:09:36. > :09:39.but the bottom line is very different approaches to try to
:09:40. > :09:48.achieve the same thing. The New Zealanders stretching it out. And
:09:49. > :10:01.sailing a very tidy race at the moment.
:10:02. > :10:08.Flight time is good for the New Zealanders in particular, which is
:10:09. > :10:15.the amount of time the hulls are staying out of the water, minimising
:10:16. > :10:21.the drag. Not a perfect tack by Team USA. This is the parrot camera, an
:10:22. > :10:27.Peter Burling's shoulder. If this goes too far, a lot of people at
:10:28. > :10:32.home will be getting seasick. I think there are seven cameras on
:10:33. > :10:36.each of the boat and that is one. We are going to find out more about
:10:37. > :10:41.America's Cup sailing and sailors than we ever wanted to know! They
:10:42. > :10:48.are not allowed to sneeze without us finding out! One of the benefits of
:10:49. > :10:49.being able to get that close and personal. On-board Oracle Team USA
:10:50. > :11:07.right now. Two very different power systems.
:11:08. > :11:13.The conventional winders, called coffee grinders, an Oracle Team USA.
:11:14. > :11:18.To power the accumulator, to build up pressure to make the hydraulic
:11:19. > :11:23.systems work. You can't get much more different. An entirely
:11:24. > :11:29.different set of muscles. They are using their legs New Zealand and
:11:30. > :11:35.Oracle is using their arms. You remarked upon the totally different
:11:36. > :11:40.body shapes of the two groups of men on that basis. Different body shapes
:11:41. > :11:44.and different vintage. Everybody would agree that the Kiwis are much
:11:45. > :11:45.lower into the boat and have a much better windage package because of
:11:46. > :12:07.the system. Pressure is above you. Five seconds.
:12:08. > :12:10.Just be patient. That is the voice of the tactician, Tom Slingsby. He
:12:11. > :12:11.has left is grinding post and he is trying to get his weight forward in
:12:12. > :12:30.the boat. Every last nugget of information
:12:31. > :12:35.absolutely key, passed on between the tactician and the helmsman.
:12:36. > :12:40.Looking like a really good start from the Kiwis. They go round gate
:12:41. > :12:58.three and head off downwind again. And we can hear the voice of Blair
:12:59. > :13:02.Tuke, with a microphone for the first time. We have not heard much
:13:03. > :13:10.from this group. I think Blair has more tactical input than we have
:13:11. > :13:11.given anybody credit for. Let's wait to hear these guys communicating a
:13:12. > :13:43.little bit more on the jibe. The lead has built to nearly 500
:13:44. > :13:48.metres and the New Zealanders are capitalising on that start line
:13:49. > :13:54.penalty incurred by Jimmy Spithill and his American team. We can bring
:13:55. > :14:01.in Joey Newton on the water for us. How damaging was that penalty at the
:14:02. > :14:04.start? Yes, well, it put Oracle Team USA a bit behind. As Kenny was
:14:05. > :14:09.mentioning, it ends up being more than a couple of lengths. That
:14:10. > :14:12.combined with the choice to spit away at the first jibe, the race
:14:13. > :14:16.ended up being what you can see now. The Kiwis are doing a really nice
:14:17. > :14:20.job of just staying between Oracle Team USA and the next mark. Unless
:14:21. > :14:28.they make a big mistake, it will be pretty tough for them to find their
:14:29. > :14:34.way round. Joey certainly has more experience right now than most of us
:14:35. > :14:37.in this stuff. But very often you love the first race in America's Cup
:14:38. > :14:41.because you really get a feel for the boat speed but because they have
:14:42. > :14:45.been so spread out I don't think we have learned anything yet. Any
:14:46. > :14:49.trends that you can see on the racecourse? It is pretty hard to
:14:50. > :14:53.tell. The boats have been a long way apart. It is hard to argue that the
:14:54. > :14:57.Kiwis are slow. They have done a good job of extending. This easterly
:14:58. > :15:03.breeze is super puffy and a lot of geography to get over before it
:15:04. > :15:06.comes to the water, so a lot of puffs. That is affecting the boat
:15:07. > :15:29.speed on the water now. Very slick. They need coordination.
:15:30. > :15:37.As we have seen throughout this time, Peter Burling is running a
:15:38. > :15:41.very organised crew. Worth remembering based at this match
:15:42. > :15:47.point down. They have to win eight races to win the America's Cup ear.
:15:48. > :15:53.But on account the Americans winning the qualifying rounds and getting
:15:54. > :15:58.extra points to bring into the match. So what a terrific start it
:15:59. > :16:07.would be for Emirates Team New Zealand if they can wipe out that
:16:08. > :16:12.point in the opening race. This place, this America's Cup Village,
:16:13. > :16:19.which has been purposely built, including the land we are sitting on
:16:20. > :16:24.here in Bermuda, has done nothing but be spectacular, not only for us
:16:25. > :16:35.and for the racing itself, but for the literally hundreds of thousands
:16:36. > :16:40.of fans who have come through here. White here's a little split that is
:16:41. > :16:46.happening right now. They waited a little bit for their tack. If we are
:16:47. > :16:51.is a chance to get into the race now this may be it. Again, very shifty
:16:52. > :16:52.on the racecourse right now, puffy and shifty, difficult for the
:16:53. > :17:06.tacticians. So, a lot of ground to make up but
:17:07. > :17:11.one of the reasons they will have headed off in the other direction
:17:12. > :17:15.having split the course, the Americans, is to chase back breeze,
:17:16. > :17:19.try to steal a march somehow or other on the New Zealanders who just
:17:20. > :17:26.stretching away very comfortable at the moment. Who's going to tell that
:17:27. > :17:32.kid he is in the first race of the America's Cup? You can't see it on
:17:33. > :17:38.his face. Just a quiet weekend drive? That's what it looks like! He
:17:39. > :17:44.is enjoying the view, no doubt enjoying the one behind in
:17:45. > :17:48.particular with Jimmy Spithill miles and miles further back. You could
:17:49. > :17:58.call it driving Miss Daisy but I date you to call any of those guys
:17:59. > :18:16.missed Daisy! -- idea you to call any of those guys missed
:18:17. > :18:23.so, looking pretty straightforward for the moment from Emirates Team
:18:24. > :18:28.New Zealand. They will have to do something massive if they had to
:18:29. > :18:32.blow this lead. You don't see them making too many errors. The error
:18:33. > :18:37.count is really low. Look at the shape of that foil out of the water.
:18:38. > :18:42.You wonder if one of the biggest differences is between Team New
:18:43. > :18:48.Zealand and the rest of the fleet, it has been in the shape of those
:18:49. > :18:51.dagger points. A lot of conversation, I have had it
:18:52. > :18:56.explained to me why they think it works, the designer explained it to
:18:57. > :19:00.me, and he may have while -- as well have been speaking ancient Egyptian!
:19:01. > :19:11.Whatever it is doing it is working really, really well. Me are in title
:19:12. > :19:16.command. This young, fearless team, and Peter Burling keen to point out
:19:17. > :19:20.at the press conference yesterday, this is an almost entirely new crew
:19:21. > :19:24.from the one his supper that heartbreak in San Francisco four
:19:25. > :19:32.years ago. Glenn Ashby the only member of that Kroos way so there
:19:33. > :19:35.can be no baggage. Ashby is technically the skipper. He has
:19:36. > :19:41.given a tonne of credit not just for the innovation in this boat, I have
:19:42. > :19:48.said it many times, may thought as the best multihull sailor on the
:19:49. > :19:52.planet, but he is the glue who kept this programme together through
:19:53. > :19:56.tough times, and does the quiet voice in the background I think it
:19:57. > :20:02.is safe to say Glenn Ashby deserves an awful lot of credit for the
:20:03. > :20:05.success of Emirates Team New Zealand to date, and obviously coming up
:20:06. > :20:30.pretty well. It doesn't look like Team USA have
:20:31. > :20:35.had any terrible manoeuvres. That's not the best gybe by Emirates Team
:20:36. > :20:39.New Zealand there, but nothing seems glaring at the moment, they are
:20:40. > :20:43.sinking down in the water now, though, only seven and a half, eight
:20:44. > :20:48.knots of breeze out there right now. I think they are slowing down to try
:20:49. > :20:55.to cause a bit of an issue with Emirates Team New Zealand. I wonder
:20:56. > :20:58.if they did that on purpose. This is the right to a boat but it is
:20:59. > :21:04.lighter air, these guys not even trying to foil right now. Jerry, the
:21:05. > :21:09.breeze dropping. It seems to have just in the last five minutes. I
:21:10. > :21:13.thought the boats were slowing down to engage the Kiwis but it that we
:21:14. > :21:21.are seeing a light spot at the top because as you can see Team USA not
:21:22. > :21:32.even foiling wind any more. The wind speed drops away to about nine
:21:33. > :21:37.knots. There is Tom Slingsby. Something dramatic has to happen on
:21:38. > :21:40.the part of the Americans here if they had to find a way back in
:21:41. > :21:52.because it looks like the Kiwis are long gone. Ring rust? And no, in a
:21:53. > :21:58.fluky day like today, this group is not going to be happy, don't get me
:21:59. > :22:01.wrong, but at the same time, I think they have proven to the world that
:22:02. > :22:06.there is not a heck of a lot of panic in this group as well, so one
:22:07. > :22:09.races one race, they will regroup, talk it through, I think Jimmy will
:22:10. > :22:15.be most frustrated with that starting line and the timing. There
:22:16. > :22:20.might be a little rust but they have been sailing every day against Japan
:22:21. > :22:25.and buy themselves last four or five days, so I'm guessing they don't use
:22:26. > :22:34.that as an excuse stop widdies sit with that? It can go two ways -- wed
:22:35. > :22:40.use it with that. They can be underdone or nicely rested. I would
:22:41. > :22:43.say they could give up the rest for the competition. These guys have
:22:44. > :22:50.been an hardcase competition for the last two weeks well Team USA have
:22:51. > :22:57.been doing their thing. no matter how much you practice it is like any
:22:58. > :23:09.other sport, match competition is everything. You've got it. So the
:23:10. > :23:16.last leg of this apparent Kiwi win, through the gate they go, the finish
:23:17. > :23:19.is a relatively short reach. Coming closer and closer to the shore and
:23:20. > :23:28.all those thousands of fans, they like to call it the stadium, and you
:23:29. > :23:31.can see why. They will have to do a few more gybes here, though. An
:23:32. > :23:36.interesting breeze direction where the setup of the racecourse is
:23:37. > :23:43.through the bottom gate, then they will have to gybe one more time,
:23:44. > :23:50.literally smack dab in front here at America's Cup Village. You can hear
:23:51. > :23:55.it from the Kiwi crowd but this is not an easy way to finish right now.
:23:56. > :23:59.Like tear down here and Oracle is screaming from behind. You said it,
:24:00. > :24:05.smack dab, you might describe that many were from the Kiwis as that.
:24:06. > :24:11.They are building speed and sailing high to build speed. Very slow and
:24:12. > :24:14.light in the last couple of gybes, let's see if Oracle counting
:24:15. > :24:21.continued apace, they are coming in really fast right now. There is a
:24:22. > :24:26.sniff for the Americans, but it is only a small sniff at this point.
:24:27. > :24:29.Now the boat speed is building from the New Zealanders and they are
:24:30. > :24:36.circling away from trouble. I don't think whale bit -- think they will
:24:37. > :24:41.lay it, they have one more gybe to go. Burling is taking every puff
:24:42. > :24:49.down possible right now. Just when we were saying five was enough, the
:24:50. > :24:53.Kiwis know how to make it interesting! We have seen it a few
:24:54. > :24:58.times in Bermuda, last-minute panic manoeuvres when things are not quite
:24:59. > :25:02.to perfection. But other than a few hiccups towards the end, the New
:25:03. > :25:09.Zealanders have made a storming start to the America's Cup match,
:25:10. > :25:15.exploding out of the blocks, wiping out that 1-point advantage the USA
:25:16. > :25:20.had, taking the initiative and the start with the American penalty, and
:25:21. > :25:27.I guess now we can say it is all square. That is right, wiping out
:25:28. > :25:31.that point, and for those of you joining the America's Cup, that
:25:32. > :25:40.point was from Oracle Team USA winning the latter round earlier,
:25:41. > :25:43.two or three weeks ago. They won a latter round against all the
:25:44. > :25:49.challenges and the winner of that took a point into the finals, and
:25:50. > :25:53.actually that taking a point made your opponent lose a point, so
:25:54. > :25:59.Emirates Team New Zealand started at -1 coming in and now we are all
:26:00. > :26:05.square, back to even, and here we go. That error on the start line a
:26:06. > :26:10.massive blow for Jimmy Spittal and Team USA. New Zealand never looked
:26:11. > :26:15.back. More action in a moment, but first, the America's Cup maybe 166
:26:16. > :26:27.years old but it has always been a race on and off the water. The
:26:28. > :26:31.America's Cup has always been associated with technology, and the
:26:32. > :26:36.fact is, the fastest boat has always won. That has probably been the case
:26:37. > :26:40.way back 100 years ago, and it is pretty obvious that that is the way
:26:41. > :26:44.it is still going. It is and always has been a design and technology
:26:45. > :26:49.race. Look back to the first race around the Isle of Wight, it was
:26:50. > :26:53.very much about developing the materials for the sails. Technology
:26:54. > :27:03.made a huge difference in terms of sail design and naval architecture,
:27:04. > :27:06.the materials available for the structure of the holes of the boat,
:27:07. > :27:08.and all the way through to 1983, and that was a huge change, the winged
:27:09. > :27:11.keel which was a key factor to Australia being the first Challenger
:27:12. > :27:19.to win the America's Cup and take it from the Americans. Back in 83 we
:27:20. > :27:24.really saw people trying to hide ideas. Australia was one of the
:27:25. > :27:29.first to use the shrouding, what we call the skirts, and trying to hide
:27:30. > :27:33.the keel the whole time. And on the flip side, the whole surveillance
:27:34. > :27:36.stepped up on the other teams and effectively the spying started. In a
:27:37. > :27:42.competition technology is only useful if you have it and your
:27:43. > :27:45.opposition doesn't. Every team has a team out there around the world
:27:46. > :27:49.trying to get their technology off their opposition. That is half the
:27:50. > :27:54.game, let's find out what they are up to and copy. So many smart
:27:55. > :28:04.designers and engineers working on making the boat go quicker, so it is
:28:05. > :28:08.for sure. In 2010, the match between Ellison and birds rally in the giant
:28:09. > :28:14.multihulls which led to the multihull Eire and ultimately more
:28:15. > :28:21.multihulls. The more recent radical ideas have been foiled. It is
:28:22. > :28:25.harnessing nature in a way that blows me away still today. You
:28:26. > :28:30.think, we had 30 times faster than we were. Ten years ago had you said
:28:31. > :28:33.to me we would be sailing around in foiling multihulls are close to 60
:28:34. > :28:37.miles an hour I would have laughed at you. It will be amazing to see
:28:38. > :28:47.where they are at in ten years' time.
:28:48. > :28:49.COMMENTATOR: Race number two of the America's Cup match, New Zealand
:28:50. > :28:54.against USA, the oldest sporting trophy on the line and the best
:28:55. > :28:58.sailors in the world on these, the fastest boats in the world. It
:28:59. > :29:03.doesn't get too much better than this, and the priest at cat and
:29:04. > :29:07.mouse progressing. I think we will see Team New Zealand take a left
:29:08. > :29:11.hand turn. Spithill will go after them and start pushing them. There
:29:12. > :29:19.is the left-hand turn, Spithill gaps right off. 33 seconds to go, he will
:29:20. > :29:24.continue pushing, he will push Team New Zealand right down to that
:29:25. > :29:28.yellow line out here. That is the line where you probably don't want
:29:29. > :29:32.to go to much further van because you go into the wind and have a hard
:29:33. > :29:36.time getting back to the start. Oracle more impressive in this
:29:37. > :29:46.prerace. Spithill is looking after it this time around. Determined to
:29:47. > :29:50.make up for the error. The Burling cat on his tail. The boat speed is
:29:51. > :29:58.different from race one but they are all clear now. Across the line now.
:29:59. > :30:01.Acceleration contest now, who can accelerate the quickest? Remember
:30:02. > :30:05.Emirates Team New Zealand from the higher, faster angle, can they get
:30:06. > :30:10.over the bow and use their wing wash to push Oracle back again? There
:30:11. > :30:12.they are, pressing, pressing over the top of Oracle and roll over the
:30:13. > :30:24.top again. Peter Burling two the two. I don't
:30:25. > :30:37.think anybody was expecting to hear that. -- two for two. Just as if it
:30:38. > :30:40.is the most natural thing in the world for him right now, being in
:30:41. > :30:44.charge of this flying machine at nearly 40 knots of speed, leading
:30:45. > :30:50.the better in Jimmy Spithill up to Mach one. For the second time this
:30:51. > :30:55.afternoon, he is the one dictating the terms of this event. Jimmy
:30:56. > :31:03.Spithill, the man who has been successful in the last two America's
:31:04. > :31:07.Cups, is the one chasing. Getting a better read on the boat speed in
:31:08. > :31:15.this contest. They are similar boat speed at similar times. Probably in
:31:16. > :31:26.similar puffs. They are aiming for the dark water. That means better
:31:27. > :31:37.wind speed. Critical first to jibe -- first jibe.
:31:38. > :31:43.The key elephant, the smoothness of the manoeuvre, to minimise the drag
:31:44. > :31:49.and make sure that the boat speed stays as consistent as possible. I
:31:50. > :31:54.think we saw a three or four not speed difference in that jibe. New
:31:55. > :32:03.Zealand carries that speed difference into a 130 metre lead all
:32:04. > :32:06.of a sudden. They are zooming the lay line in the bottom right-hand
:32:07. > :32:13.corner. Oracle will look for a split at gate number two, most likely. The
:32:14. > :32:19.lay line are those two yellow lines to the side of the screen, giving
:32:20. > :32:26.you the best possible part to make the gate in one without further
:32:27. > :32:27.manoeuvres. New Zealand is absolutely tearing it up at the
:32:28. > :32:46.moment. They are in the code one jibs today.
:32:47. > :32:50.They are one designed jib, so all the sails full first time in history
:32:51. > :33:04.are exactly the same shape, size, one design. No difference there. The
:33:05. > :33:09.Americans are having to play catch up. This was not really part of the
:33:10. > :33:24.game plan. Not part of theirs anyway.
:33:25. > :33:33.We are looking at match racing going on right now. Very much different to
:33:34. > :33:38.a lot of the match racing we have seen in the past, with boats
:33:39. > :33:42.attacking each other. This is much more classic match racing that guys
:33:43. > :33:48.like Joey Newton and I have done over the years. Joey, we saw that
:33:49. > :33:53.other red and black boat from New Zealand look pretty quick on the
:33:54. > :33:56.first run. Yes, that is right. It would be hard to argue they were
:33:57. > :34:02.going slow down that first run. They had a really nice jibe. They
:34:03. > :34:12.stretched out pretty quickly in that one. I wonder how much gangsta and
:34:13. > :34:29.concern there is an American ranks right now after these early races.
:34:30. > :34:32.-- angst and concern. The New Zealanders are looking good. I am
:34:33. > :34:36.not sure we thought they would be this good in the lighter air. A
:34:37. > :34:41.light breeze forecast for tomorrow. This race isn't over yet but from
:34:42. > :34:42.what we have seen so far, Kiwi fans around the world are licking their
:34:43. > :35:06.chops. High up on their foils, head down,
:35:07. > :35:07.singular purpose. Peter Burling sunbathing with a Scotch egg on his
:35:08. > :35:23.back pocket! Just pure boat speed right now.
:35:24. > :35:27.There could be a little more wind pressure on the racecourse where
:35:28. > :35:40.they are, but with wind direction, little more of a shift. -- a
:35:41. > :35:48.right-hand shift. Explain these numbers to people. When the boat
:35:49. > :35:52.jibes or tacks, it is hard to explain, but we have just seen all
:35:53. > :36:02.the numbers in New Zealand's favour. They were going faster. Their
:36:03. > :36:04.numbers were better. There are a number of factors with regard to
:36:05. > :36:41.speed. The VMG is the Holy Grail. We can just hear Tom Slingsby
:36:42. > :36:45.talking about higher and faster and higher and slower. That is owed.
:36:46. > :36:57.They can change their notes on the boat according to how they want to
:36:58. > :37:01.sail. -- that is a mode. It seems like the Kiwis are doing whatever
:37:02. > :37:09.they want to do at will and radical turns as well. The way they throw
:37:10. > :37:16.the bow round double quick time. They are moving towards gate three
:37:17. > :37:21.at 26 knots. They are going to Luke Wright around that Mark Bright there
:37:22. > :37:37.and just extend big time. -- they are going to loop right around
:37:38. > :37:41.that mark right there. They will have another massive lead in no
:37:42. > :37:57.time. I think the motor sound is the
:37:58. > :38:02.hydraulics working the wing. That is Glenn Ashby. He just went to look
:38:03. > :38:05.around the other side of the wing to make sure they were not going to
:38:06. > :38:10.interfere with Oracle. They want nothing to do with Oracle at this
:38:11. > :38:13.stage. Stay away, stay clear, just keep doing your thing. By and large
:38:14. > :38:18.that has been a policy throughout their time in Bermuda. They want to
:38:19. > :38:23.keep their noses clean and sail their own race. They don't want a
:38:24. > :38:53.dogfight with Jimmy Spithill. We can go back out to Joey Newton.
:38:54. > :38:56.There is nothing that appears obvious to us looking at the screen.
:38:57. > :39:01.Is there anything that appears obvious to you on the water? This is
:39:02. > :39:05.a pretty big discrepancy. Not really. There is the obvious oil
:39:06. > :39:14.difference shape that we are seeing. The kink shaped and maybe a tiny bit
:39:15. > :39:18.longer on the Kiwi boat. But when they are getting in front, they are
:39:19. > :39:21.piecing the wind shifts and the puffs of breeze together and
:39:22. > :39:27.extending away. They are doing a really nice job of sailing mad boat.
:39:28. > :39:34.Through this entire series, since race number one of those later
:39:35. > :39:52.rounds, early on, team New Zealand has not lost a race when they have
:39:53. > :39:59.been ahead at Mark Bunn. -- Mark 1. What do the numbers say? The numbers
:40:00. > :40:03.are good. Team New Zealand. Usually the minimal conversation. Clipped,
:40:04. > :40:09.precise, and exactly what everybody needs and nothing more. That is the
:40:10. > :40:13.sign of a well oiled machine, my friend. That is exactly how you
:40:14. > :40:25.wanted on any sailboat, not in the America's Cup. -- that is exactly
:40:26. > :40:34.how you want it on any sailboat, not just in the America's Cup. Peter
:40:35. > :40:39.Burling, 26 years old, high school, never flustered. I was reading a
:40:40. > :40:42.fascinating piece on him in the papers in New Zealand which was
:40:43. > :40:45.talking about his natural feel for any racecourse, his ability to spot
:40:46. > :40:51.wind shifts and be in the right place at the right time. I do a lot
:40:52. > :40:58.of offshore racing. I hope he doesn't go into offshore racing! Put
:40:59. > :41:02.a blanket ban on him! Extend your career another few years! This is
:41:03. > :41:16.just fully dominant right now. Interesting that we are hearing
:41:17. > :41:19.Blair Tuke and Glenn Ashby giving a bit more information to Peter
:41:20. > :41:26.Burling. We were under the impression that he was doing most of
:41:27. > :41:29.the tactical wind shifts positioning himself. But we have a couple of
:41:30. > :41:32.microphones on the boat that we may not have had before and we are
:41:33. > :41:37.hearing quite a bit more from Glenn Ashby and Blair Tuke with regards to
:41:38. > :41:49.helping to position the boat on the racecourse.
:41:50. > :41:57.If you look at Jimmy Spithill, he has got his hands on the wheel right
:41:58. > :42:03.there. He is actually moving the foils with those twist grip on the
:42:04. > :42:15.steering wheels. Controlling the flight of the boat.
:42:16. > :42:20.Nothing looks crazy slow. Nothing looks out of whack on board Oracle
:42:21. > :42:30.apart from the fact they are 650 metres behind. If there were toys
:42:31. > :42:34.being kept in the shed onshore, the Americans are going to have to empty
:42:35. > :42:45.the box. They will have to go look again. Always difficult to try to
:42:46. > :42:51.establish exactly what is that anybody's sleeve at any moment in
:42:52. > :42:59.America's Cup campaign, but you would expect if there were new
:43:00. > :43:03.little details and that that ability -- and the ability to adapt in their
:43:04. > :43:07.design, they would have done it before today. This forecast has been
:43:08. > :43:10.in the mix for a long time, from as far out as possible. The weather
:43:11. > :43:13.forecast can really be very accurate. They would have known what
:43:14. > :43:19.was coming so you would not expect them to be keeping anything back.
:43:20. > :43:29.They didn't get the board down early enough for team New Zealand. A rare
:43:30. > :43:36.unperfect tack from New Zealand. Is that a word? Imperfect! Unperfect?
:43:37. > :43:45.Is that the difference between American and British English?
:43:46. > :43:53.Gate five of seven and the New Zealanders are looking in total
:43:54. > :43:56.control right now as we get a decent perspective about where they are on
:43:57. > :44:08.the racecourse from a helicopter hovering up above.
:44:09. > :44:17.Just looking at these VMG numbers again, even though they are on
:44:18. > :44:23.opposite tacks, they are settling down. New Zealand are heading on the
:44:24. > :44:30.other side of the wind shift. Away from the line. The VMGs, when the
:44:31. > :44:35.two boats lined up again, these numbers are critical. You have got
:44:36. > :44:41.to imagine that all the teams and the players from each of these teams
:44:42. > :44:46.are watching it very closely. To be clear, the VMG is the combination
:44:47. > :44:52.between boat speed and angle? Correct. And wind direction is a
:44:53. > :44:55.variable obviously. It is how close to the wind and how fast you are
:44:56. > :45:00.going. You can go close to the wind and slower and further from the wind
:45:01. > :45:10.and faster. The VMG is that perfect combination between the two.
:45:11. > :45:16.The Kiwis, because of the narrowness of the racecourse, are occasionally
:45:17. > :45:21.forced into war wind shift they don't want to be on. They have been
:45:22. > :45:27.headed a little bit on both sides in the last few minutes, by not the
:45:28. > :45:31.perfect wind shift. Oracle has back to 300 metres, almost half the
:45:32. > :45:36.distance in a short period based on the windscreen. Shifty out there.
:45:37. > :46:01.Very, very shifty in the wind. They might claw our way back into
:46:02. > :46:04.this contest, the Americans. Tom Slingsby has an instrument right
:46:05. > :46:08.there that is helping him tell the wind direction. He is looking at the
:46:09. > :46:15.water for the dark spots, probably using that instrument in his hand to
:46:16. > :46:16.help him figure out if the wind direction is working for them or
:46:17. > :46:50.against them. They are helping them out there. VMG
:46:51. > :46:55.which means just go normal. Sometimes the path is in front of
:46:56. > :47:01.you, you want to lead into it. Huge gains on this wind shift in the last
:47:02. > :47:06.three or four minutes from just wind shifts. Well done by Slingsby, this
:47:07. > :47:12.is all of a sudden the boat race. They were thrilled with that last
:47:13. > :47:20.tap, all of time gaining on the Kiwis. The Kiwis better get on their
:47:21. > :47:28.shift quickly. They just barely get up on their foiled on time. Barely.
:47:29. > :47:31.He is breathing down Burling's neck right now and applying pressure all
:47:32. > :47:37.the time. There is the protest from the Americans. So we await the
:47:38. > :47:42.decision from chief umpire Richard Slater. Will the Kiwis be a penalty
:47:43. > :47:53.down? No, they will not. They are free to go. But this is game on. The
:47:54. > :47:59.wind shift seems to be out of sorts for Emirates Team New Zealand. From
:48:00. > :48:07.about half up the leg on. Sure enough, big shifts but Oracle are
:48:08. > :48:10.down to eight knots on the Kiwis are going at 18 so all of a sudden are
:48:11. > :48:15.back in the race and have a super slow gybe. Oh, disappointment for
:48:16. > :48:34.Oracle Team USA fans. Crushing blow after all that hard
:48:35. > :48:36.work reeling in the Kiwis. Now all of a sudden they are 350 metres
:48:37. > :48:51.further back. That could have been a combination
:48:52. > :48:57.of a lighter patch but they were almost in the same water. We will
:48:58. > :49:02.have too asked later. Look at this last leg. The Kiwis go to the
:49:03. > :49:06.boundary then tack and have a really horrible angle coming back and Team
:49:07. > :49:12.USA, look at the difference from there to that of the wind shift
:49:13. > :49:17.Oracle is in. Massive gains, and sure enough, Oracle comes back at
:49:18. > :49:21.them in a wonderful wind shift, enough to make this race incredibly
:49:22. > :49:25.close, literally within a metre at one stage, but one bad gybe by
:49:26. > :49:34.Oracle, whether a puff of wind or just technique in the gybe just
:49:35. > :49:40.spreads this thing out. They lost almost 300 metres in a gybe! Any
:49:41. > :49:51.sailor would think that is literally impossible. But welcome to foiling!
:49:52. > :49:55.It is a cruel blow. We have seen throughout our time on the Great
:49:56. > :50:00.Sound that one small error, that was big, but a relatively small one can
:50:01. > :50:06.cost you 200 metres. This one much more costly than that for Jimmy
:50:07. > :50:10.Spithill. A wonderful number by our folks back in the truck to figure
:50:11. > :50:16.out how many metres lost in that one gybe. That will go in the history
:50:17. > :50:27.books I think. That is the new sailing we are becoming more
:50:28. > :50:31.accustomed to all the time. I'm going to guess they do this last lap
:50:32. > :50:36.into the finish much better than the first time around. Better line
:50:37. > :50:40.through the gate. The pressure is kind of off with regard to Oracle
:50:41. > :50:58.look how far behind Oracle is. Still they are putting in every last
:50:59. > :51:02.ounce of their being, everything left out there on the racetrack but
:51:03. > :51:07.it is all paying off because they are having quite the day, the New
:51:08. > :51:15.Zealanders. They are through the last gate, they had tearing up
:51:16. > :51:18.towards the finish line. As we have said many times, put the brakes on
:51:19. > :51:26.quick or you will be in somebody's drink! What a day for Peter Burling
:51:27. > :51:30.and Emirates Team New Zealand, what a start to their match, a blistering
:51:31. > :51:36.opening, laying down the gauntlet to the Americans. It is shaping up to
:51:37. > :51:43.be a brilliant duel, but the Kiwis have torn it up today. Two wins from
:51:44. > :51:47.two, and they need six more wins and a trophy will be theirs, but they
:51:48. > :51:54.have started in the best possible fashion. That is Kiwi jubilant is
:51:55. > :51:58.like we have never seen before, a couple of handshakes and a nice job
:51:59. > :52:12.and that is roll you see from these guys, I guarantee it. -- all you
:52:13. > :52:17.see. So we are hearing chuckles coming from the New Zealand team.
:52:18. > :52:22.Not too much laughing with Oracle Team USA. A chastening afternoon
:52:23. > :52:28.here in Bermuda for Jimmy Spithill and the rest of his crews. Wondering
:52:29. > :52:37.how that went so badly so fast app about last gate. A miraculous
:52:38. > :52:39.comeback turns into really shocking defeat. That will be disappointed
:52:40. > :52:57.group. Keep hanging in there is the message
:52:58. > :53:02.from the helmsman, Jimmy Spithill. He has been through the mill before
:53:03. > :53:08.and knows there is every chance. He knows what it takes to come back.
:53:09. > :53:12.Think back just four years ago of course, the best and biggest of them
:53:13. > :53:19.all, the most dramatic of them all, but not at that stage. The Kiwis
:53:20. > :53:23.have their noses in front now on the Great Sound and the Americans have
:53:24. > :53:27.it all to do. New Zealand having started this opening day of the
:53:28. > :53:32.match one point in arrears, they are now point up, first to seven race
:53:33. > :53:37.wins for the trophy. What a dominant start from the New
:53:38. > :53:45.Zealanders, two impressive race wins on day one. I have been chatting to
:53:46. > :53:51.both the skippers, first rookie Peter Burling. Congratulations. Good
:53:52. > :53:55.start to your career. We are pleased with the way the boys did Sabella
:53:56. > :53:59.today, did a lot of things well but it was a tricky day and we made a
:54:00. > :54:03.lot of mistakes as well. We feel we have a lot to improve on from today
:54:04. > :54:07.and if we can get that same day again we would sail better than we
:54:08. > :54:12.did today. At the same time to win the America's Cup, you have to win
:54:13. > :54:16.races. We were happy to take two today but they would be the easiest
:54:17. > :54:27.races we get. We are just going to keep improving and chipping away and
:54:28. > :54:30.try to get better to win the final race. Jimmy said he handed you the
:54:31. > :54:33.first race. Did it feel like that? I think he handed us the first start
:54:34. > :54:37.with the time he led back by, but it was an incredible tricky day. If we
:54:38. > :54:42.are behind today, he had so many opportunities to come through and we
:54:43. > :54:47.are happy with the way we went about it. The composure of the guys showed
:54:48. > :54:51.to keep ahead in the final race, to get him off the foil then forcing a
:54:52. > :54:55.bad gybe was incredibly pleasing in terms of where we came from as a
:54:56. > :55:00.team. We were put today down to being rusty round the racetrack,
:55:01. > :55:04.Jimmy. We definitely more moat -- made more mistakes and that is
:55:05. > :55:08.reflected in the results, but we have an opportunity to make a pass
:55:09. > :55:13.which was close to happening, but we couldn't make it happen. So a lot of
:55:14. > :55:18.lessons to be learned, we will go back tonight and spend time going
:55:19. > :55:21.through it. We are only one back, long way to go. Pretty
:55:22. > :55:26.uncharacteristic mistakes from you in the pre-start. The first one, we
:55:27. > :55:32.were initially happy with what we do it -- were doing, then unfortunately
:55:33. > :55:36.it became clear the numbers were not what we were thinking. We will have
:55:37. > :55:41.to go back and look about. Second we were happy, we thought it would be
:55:42. > :55:48.close, almost a flip of the first start and we thought we would be
:55:49. > :55:53.able to get off, but they just out accelerated us. Very close, we have
:55:54. > :55:57.another opportunity at the top mark and a shame really that we couldn't
:55:58. > :56:02.stick the gybe. Like I said, we have to go back and learn why that
:56:03. > :56:07.happened, work on the consistency and comeback swinging tomorrow. Lots
:56:08. > :56:11.to talk about from today's action. A man watching very closely is Freddie
:56:12. > :56:16.Carr from Land Rover BAR. There was much talk about how weak the Kiwis
:56:17. > :56:26.were in the starting box. We saw none of that today. All the top
:56:27. > :56:29.before race one was how Jimmy Spithill of America would take it to
:56:30. > :56:32.the Kiwis and duff them up in the starts and lead him off the line but
:56:33. > :56:34.today was the opposite of that. The Americans started early in race one,
:56:35. > :56:37.got carried away, which handed the start to New Zealand and the whole
:56:38. > :56:41.race, then in the second race it got exciting in the last 30 seconds, the
:56:42. > :56:45.Americans attacked the New Zealanders, the New Zealanders did
:56:46. > :56:49.an amazing job of holding off, and all importantly pulled the trigger,
:56:50. > :56:53.started perfectly and accelerated better into the racecourse. It
:56:54. > :56:57.looked to me that the Kiwis could do what they want. Are they unstoppable
:56:58. > :57:02.with speed to burn? We learned a lot about their speed in the light wind
:57:03. > :57:06.coming through the qualifying series and they have carry that into the
:57:07. > :57:08.America's Cup match. Oracle were confident to match them in the light
:57:09. > :57:22.airs, but there is no question after today that the Kiwis are the faster
:57:23. > :57:25.boat in the line-up. It seemed you could never rest or relax, it was
:57:26. > :57:28.never over today. That's right, round the last mark of the last
:57:29. > :57:31.race, the second to last turning get the Kiwis had a 400 metre lead and
:57:32. > :57:34.by the topic was neck and neck, it was amazing how tactically you could
:57:35. > :57:37.use the win to get back into the race, then one bad manoeuvre by
:57:38. > :57:42.Oracle Team USA and that was race over, 2-0 to New Zealand. Confident
:57:43. > :57:49.start from New Zealand. What can we expect tomorrow? Potentially more
:57:50. > :57:53.wind so let's take what we learnt about the speed today. Tomorrow we
:57:54. > :57:57.are racing in medium airs. I expect the American team to go really hard
:57:58. > :58:01.tactically, but Peter Burling is answering all the questions America
:58:02. > :58:06.throw at him at the moment. Thanks. For sure it will be exciting. If you
:58:07. > :58:10.want to catch up with the highlights, watch on BBC Two on
:58:11. > :59:04.Monday night at 11:15pm. That's it from Bermuda.
:59:05. > :59:12.We need to trap the beast which killed him.
:59:13. > :59:17.Tear him apart! I want him found! Now!
