:00:38. > :00:44.Clearly, the plan was not to be in this position again. But we are

:00:45. > :00:50.here. Now it is up to us to respond and react. I think there is still

:00:51. > :00:54.plenty of fight, we are getting better as we go. Given the

:00:55. > :01:00.opportunity, we will improve from it. If you are asking for somebody

:01:01. > :01:08.to point the finger at, should point it firmly at me. I think we showed

:01:09. > :01:10.we are a pretty tough bunch. We got asked questions and I felt like we

:01:11. > :01:16.answered them with our performance in the water. We have shown we can

:01:17. > :01:21.beat these guys. This is not over, we will get stronger and we will

:01:22. > :01:23.just focus on one race now. There is no second.

:01:24. > :01:28.There is no second. Day Five of the America's Cup in Bermuda and could

:01:29. > :01:33.it be famous for New Zealand sailing? They are on the brink of

:01:34. > :01:39.their third America's Cup success in the country's history after a great

:01:40. > :01:45.performance out of the Great Sound on Sunday. New Zealand have won

:01:46. > :01:52.seven, but it is 6-1 after America claimed a bonus point in qualifying.

:01:53. > :01:56.It is now or never for Oracle Team USA to stop New Zealand making

:01:57. > :02:00.history. Let's join our commentary team now.

:02:01. > :02:05.Race number nine of the America's Cup match is under way and it could

:02:06. > :02:11.be the last as New Zealand aims to make history and the eyes of the

:02:12. > :02:21.sporting world focused firmly now in the Great Sound. Spithill going for

:02:22. > :02:27.it now. Going towards the top end of the line. The right-hand end of the

:02:28. > :02:33.line, that is a bit further away from the first mark. But it is

:02:34. > :02:38.always a faster angle. Let's see if he can make that. This kind of

:02:39. > :02:43.distance has been a problem for Jimmy Spithill, let's see if it is

:02:44. > :02:47.today. He has pulled the trigger, has he gone too soon? It looks like

:02:48. > :02:53.it is going to be just fine this time around and the two boats, the

:02:54. > :02:59.Americans just about in front. Tearing towards Mark one. So

:03:00. > :03:04.critical that Jimmy Spithill and his team get away to a cleaner and quick

:03:05. > :03:09.start. They have to be to respond. But the owner psyche and for the

:03:10. > :03:15.chance to win this race, they need to get over the top for a chance to

:03:16. > :03:20.win this race. It looks like they might have pulled this off. Sailing

:03:21. > :03:28.below the mark right now. There you go. Two out of seven I think in the

:03:29. > :03:32.start so far, so Jimmy Spithill has finally got one and, man did he need

:03:33. > :03:39.it. Goodspeed from the Americans as they turn around and they head down

:03:40. > :03:44.for the first time in this race. And the Kiwis behind them. They have

:03:45. > :03:49.been very happy through the course of our time here in Bermuda to play

:03:50. > :03:52.catch up. They bided their time and they waited for the wind shifts,

:03:53. > :04:01.secure in the knowledge that boat is quick.

:04:02. > :04:09.Let's start counting! Stand-by. Happy? Three, two, one. Read two,

:04:10. > :04:18.one. So the Kiwis first to jibe, the

:04:19. > :04:23.Americans right on the boundary. I think the whole world is just

:04:24. > :04:26.holding their breath. If you are an Oracle band, that jibe was so

:04:27. > :04:32.critical. They stayed in that boils but they are in a very precarious

:04:33. > :04:36.spot. They can do a reversal and they can roll over the top, it does

:04:37. > :04:46.not seem like Spithill is to concerns but that is placing them in

:04:47. > :04:53.a disastrous spot, Oracle. Neck and neck right over. Oracle is in a

:04:54. > :05:01.tough spot. Emirates Team New Zealand just barely bowing out.

:05:02. > :05:07.Intentionally using their wing quashed the slowdown in line to --

:05:08. > :05:09.two. Quicker of the jibe yet again, how many times have we said that in

:05:10. > :05:26.this series? This is white we always say the

:05:27. > :05:30.fastest boat wins the America's Cup. That tiny speed edge goes from

:05:31. > :05:36.behind to a head in a heartbeat, Emirates Team New Zealand. That is

:05:37. > :05:42.the wing wash which the Kiwis will be hoping will spoil the attempt of

:05:43. > :05:53.the Americans and allow them to extend their lead. The ideal route

:05:54. > :06:01.into the gate. Albatross! Albatross! Stand-by. New

:06:02. > :06:05.Zealand out in front, looking to claim the trophy, to claim their

:06:06. > :06:11.place in history. The Americans already, even at this stage in the

:06:12. > :06:16.race, with plenty to do. Albatross, we all wanted to find out

:06:17. > :06:22.what that was, that was a super difficult manoeuvre by Oracle. And

:06:23. > :06:27.you can see that paying dearly in boat speed. Having to do that last

:06:28. > :06:30.second spin around. They did it pretty well, but I tell you what,

:06:31. > :06:39.that was not pretty and it was not easy to do.

:06:40. > :06:46.So the New Zealanders reading the race. The Americans in a separate

:06:47. > :06:57.direction to try to chase a bit of wind. And find a way back in. That

:06:58. > :07:05.leaves Peter Burling's men. That split became so critical from Oracle

:07:06. > :07:12.that they decided to do one of the hardest manoeuvres on these boats.

:07:13. > :07:17.They need that split is to continue and possibly double that lead

:07:18. > :07:25.because Emirates Team New Zealand is in no way. They are not slow and

:07:26. > :07:34.they are not getting any closer. Look at the speed difference, 23

:07:35. > :07:36.knots and 20 knots. As they pulled back their curtains this morning,

:07:37. > :07:41.they will have known that in these conditions, the Kiwi boat

:07:42. > :07:48.unquestionably has the edge. We have seen it throughout the time here.

:07:49. > :07:52.Peter Burling, he is twiddling his Nobbs in the bottom right hand side

:07:53. > :07:58.of the corner. He is trying to do his thing with his box. Controlling

:07:59. > :08:19.the wind, and the shape. Again, the foils, such a slick

:08:20. > :08:40.manoeuvre. Already, this lead is looking like a

:08:41. > :08:48.very significant one for Emirates Team New Zealand. Freddie, in the

:08:49. > :08:55.water, the breeze is still around 899 knots, is there a general trend

:08:56. > :09:00.here? Yes, the breeze is still the same, two minute oscillations

:09:01. > :09:04.flicking left and right. The jibe by the Kiwis in the boundary was

:09:05. > :09:08.unbelievable. Glenn Ashby was halfway down the boat as the boat

:09:09. > :09:16.was getting turned down. Superb boat handling by the Kiwis. So we have

:09:17. > :09:20.had a jibe and an albatross this race. We thought we have heard it

:09:21. > :09:24.all, but we have not. Pushing the boundaries, they love it, the

:09:25. > :09:27.innovators. Setting the agenda on and off the course with their

:09:28. > :09:41.designs and their techniques and their tactics.

:09:42. > :09:51.Ten seconds? Stand by that, guys. Three, two, one. Peter Burling

:09:52. > :09:59.withdrawal of his experience, needed to draw upon right now -- Jimmy

:10:00. > :10:06.Spithill. Twice and America's Cup winner in 2010 and 2013. At the

:10:07. > :10:13.moment, staring down the barrel. This could be a possible right-hand

:10:14. > :10:18.Winship. You can see up in the corner that the angle of Emirates

:10:19. > :10:22.Team New Zealand is going down. That often means the wind shift is going

:10:23. > :10:32.the other way. When these guys come back together again, they will be a

:10:33. > :10:42.little bit closer. Keep it close, Oracle. You always talk about that

:10:43. > :10:48.150 metre mark as being just about in the realms of being in touch and

:10:49. > :10:51.staying in touch and having the opportunity to turn around. One

:10:52. > :10:58.mistake and you can edge in front. Get too much beyond that and it

:10:59. > :11:04.becomes much more difficult. Right on the cusp of that threshold right

:11:05. > :11:10.now. It is still phenomenal to watch this boat, flawless. How stable the

:11:11. > :11:21.boat becomes, how quickly they fling the thing over. And once they have

:11:22. > :11:24.manoeuvred, the cycle has got to work, generating the power and

:11:25. > :11:28.pushing the oil around the system to allow them a little bit of tactical

:11:29. > :11:43.freedom. Decisions can be made at that point, once the power levels

:11:44. > :11:52.are back up where they need them. Interesting, expected in this light

:11:53. > :11:55.breeze, which they going with their bigger jibs today? It is a trend we

:11:56. > :12:02.have seen, in the longer foils, you do not need as much sail area to get

:12:03. > :12:07.them working and it drags through the air as well as through the

:12:08. > :12:13.water. A big speed discrepancy between the two boats, heading in

:12:14. > :12:18.separate directions. The Kiwis were motoring away at around 30 knots and

:12:19. > :12:24.the USA struggling at around 20. A seem to have bubbled away a bit

:12:25. > :12:30.here. A great shot as Glenn Ashby heads across the trampoline and

:12:31. > :12:33.takes the helm for a moment until Peter Burling arrives. They have a

:12:34. > :12:41.fantastic distribution of responsibility that works so well

:12:42. > :12:49.for them. Glenn Ashby something of a Guru, multiple World Champion. He

:12:50. > :12:55.had a "un-money macro's allotment. Yes, Jimmy Spithill grew from him in

:12:56. > :13:04.the little America's Cup, in the C class -- he had a big impact on

:13:05. > :13:11.Jimmy Spithill's development. That seemed like forever ago. But this

:13:12. > :13:18.turned up the Sarries. The Kiwis go through the gates. Up went one more

:13:19. > :13:23.time. And this time going with an early boat. This is the controlled

:13:24. > :13:31.the race course. Knowing ball well that's Oracle Team USA had to split

:13:32. > :13:35.and do something, this is a traditional move, you boat early.

:13:36. > :13:39.You give up a bit of your lead but when they go around the mark, you

:13:40. > :13:41.will be close to the same water and the same wind shift as your

:13:42. > :14:06.competitor. So be Americans still in touch, just

:14:07. > :14:13.about. They have to be a little concerned at this point with time

:14:14. > :14:23.ticking against them. The defenders of the America's Cup. It will be a

:14:24. > :14:34.quiet realisation that this might be over in the not too distant future.

:14:35. > :14:40.A little bust, just a little. This is good, and no lower. A lot of

:14:41. > :14:46.positivity. That is good to hear. A lot of positivity, at it -- and what

:14:47. > :14:56.you would expect to hear from these guys.

:14:57. > :15:13.A little faster still. 20 seconds. Stand by. Three, two, one. New

:15:14. > :15:17.Zealand's did those two extra tacks and certainly gave up a bit of their

:15:18. > :15:22.lead. I would guess that Emirates Team New Zealand fans of more

:15:23. > :15:28.comfortable in this position with a 150 metre lead than at the opposite

:15:29. > :15:36.end of the racecourse. There, are vulnerable. Here, you are not.

:15:37. > :15:43.Looking at the back side of these wings again. Looking to try to prove

:15:44. > :15:48.me correct on team New Zealand. But they seem pretty quiet with the top

:15:49. > :15:52.section of the foil right now. We're looking for that hummingbird concept

:15:53. > :15:56.that Freddie introduced to us the other day. It's not exactly there

:15:57. > :16:03.right now. Listen, this is again what we talked about earlier, this

:16:04. > :16:13.is the one mistake zone. The problem is, the kiwis don't seem to be

:16:14. > :16:19.making any mistakes. Classic match racing right now.

:16:20. > :16:24.Criticised earlier on in the match himself for not covering Jimmy

:16:25. > :16:32.Spithill and Oracle Team USA seems to have rectified that in pretty

:16:33. > :16:37.much every department. Simon right up towards his Max heart rate. The

:16:38. > :16:42.bronze medallist from London 2012, new experiences for him out here on

:16:43. > :16:53.the water, as we were telling you earlier, not least the day that the

:16:54. > :16:59.kiwi boat disappeared upside down. One minute you're cycling, the next

:17:00. > :17:03.you're gargling. Now the Kiwis will make sure they lay the mark. Oracle

:17:04. > :17:12.are trying to do anything right now. Desperation again, trying to take

:17:13. > :17:20.over. The cyclists create the hydraulic pressure on the kiwi boat.

:17:21. > :17:28.On the boat on the left, Team USA doing it more conventionally with

:17:29. > :17:32.coffee grinding. One interesting part is you Americans seem to, on

:17:33. > :17:39.the left, the port star board, that is the board up down, you can help

:17:40. > :17:43.me, the board up down is called a pressure accumulator than moving the

:17:44. > :17:46.appendages around. That's a separate entity. We see that on the right

:17:47. > :17:52.that. Number seems to move a lot more on the American boat. That's

:17:53. > :17:56.right. You have lift accumulator for dropping and lifting the boards.

:17:57. > :18:01.Then a brake accumulator. The big gain for the Kiwis is they can feel

:18:02. > :18:05.the brake accumulator quickly and set them up for the next tackle

:18:06. > :18:10.jibe. Freddie was telling me earlier he thinks that the Kiwis, now that

:18:11. > :18:18.he's not in the cup, he can admit that the Kiwis might have about 30%

:18:19. > :18:25.more effort, more pressure. That's right, Ken. About 30%.

:18:26. > :18:31.So the Kiwis needed one more tack to get into the gate and round. That

:18:32. > :18:39.means that the USA have gained on them, just a little bit. It's

:18:40. > :18:43.interesting, they have this close tactic, definitely closed up the

:18:44. > :18:48.lead a little bit. Again, they're in the same water - there's oracle

:18:49. > :18:54.again doing everything to get to a different side of the racecourse,

:18:55. > :18:57.splitting it again. Choosing to do another tack, anything. Jimmy

:18:58. > :19:04.Spithill with one down wind leg to go. He's got to roll the dice. He's

:19:05. > :19:10.got to come out punching. The bar has been set very Highbury that

:19:11. > :19:15.other boat - very high by that other boat. This is a bit of a caning

:19:16. > :19:19.going on here right now in this America's Cup, quite frankly, I

:19:20. > :19:25.don't think anybody anticipated. We anticipated these guys to be good. I

:19:26. > :19:28.don't think anybody anticipated the Kiwis to be THIS good. Except maybe

:19:29. > :19:48.them! Peter Burling looking to put his

:19:49. > :19:53.foot on the jugular. Got to admire the calm, the composure, the

:19:54. > :19:57.measured approach which this man has brought to proceedings all across

:19:58. > :20:05.this five weeks of racing on the great sand. Think back a few weeks

:20:06. > :20:11.ago to when their boat was in shreds, after that dramatic pitch

:20:12. > :20:16.pole. Then they put it all back together. Don't forget the millions

:20:17. > :20:19.of Kiwis up watching this right now, I think it's 5am on that little

:20:20. > :20:26.island. They're licking their chops right now. They're saying, "Auckland

:20:27. > :20:29.here we come." Wiping the sleep from their eyes and recognising that

:20:30. > :20:33.their team is close now. Could be two more jibes in. Possibly one more

:20:34. > :20:37.jibe in. Let's see if they can soak down. This is an interesting angle

:20:38. > :20:42.into the finish line. Let's see if they can soak and get there.

:20:43. > :20:47.So the USA desperately trying to chase the Kiwis down. But the game

:20:48. > :20:51.is up. There will be no fairy-tale comeback this time around. Jimmy

:20:52. > :20:57.Spithill has lost his magic wand and in the meantime, the Kiwis,

:20:58. > :21:03.innovative in their design, intense in their focus, resilient throughout

:21:04. > :21:08.the time here in Bermuda, the New Zealanders pedalling into the

:21:09. > :21:19.history books. The America's Cup wrestled from the USA by Beryling

:21:20. > :21:25.Beryling's men in -- Peter Burling's men in black. The heartache and pain

:21:26. > :21:29.of San Francisco replaced by jubilation here.

:21:30. > :21:36.In the end eight victories in all in this match for the New Zealanders.

:21:37. > :21:40.They win it by 7-1. They have been radical with their

:21:41. > :21:43.design, perfect in their execution, quite simply Emirates Team New

:21:44. > :21:50.Zealand have dominated the 35th America's Cup. We now present the

:21:51. > :21:51.America's Cup to Emirates Team New Zealand!

:21:52. > :22:16.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE MUSIC

:22:17. > :22:21.Massive congratulations, you've just lifted the oldest trophy in world

:22:22. > :22:24.sport, what was that like? It's an unbelievable feeling. As a kiwi

:22:25. > :22:29.watching our country compete for the America's Cup, to be able to come

:22:30. > :22:34.here to Bermuda with an amazing group of guys and girls, like we

:22:35. > :22:38.have here, we feel like a really tight family. To be able to get the

:22:39. > :22:41.job done today and share that trophy with them and bringing it home, it's

:22:42. > :22:45.an unbelievable feeling. If you could have your time again, is there

:22:46. > :22:49.one thing you would do differently? I don't think there's only one thing

:22:50. > :22:52.in particular. I was saying before, it's kind of ironic, even when you

:22:53. > :22:56.win the America's Cup, you still, you know, you think about all the

:22:57. > :23:01.things you did wrong. You wish you could have done better. Obviously,

:23:02. > :23:05.when you lose America's Cup it's quite a lot more. The list is long.

:23:06. > :23:08.I think that's for me and the team that's probably going to be the next

:23:09. > :23:14.few months really reflecting on that, what we could have done as a

:23:15. > :23:17.team, for myself, individually to be better. The most important thing is

:23:18. > :23:21.to learn from it and grow stronger. You were on the boat four years ago

:23:22. > :23:26.in San Francisco, you know what it's like to lose this trophy. What is it

:23:27. > :23:30.like to hold it above your head? It's a much nicer walk up to there

:23:31. > :23:35.when you win than when you don't. That's for sure. That goes through

:23:36. > :23:40.the whole of sport, at the end of the day. Just an amazing feeling of

:23:41. > :23:44.satisfaction, I guess. For the whole team and for New Zealand as a

:23:45. > :23:49.country to be able to pull this off, it's been an unbelievable journey.

:23:50. > :23:54.I'm sure they'll be celebrating for some time to come. Joining me to

:23:55. > :23:58.share his reflections is Sir Ben Ainslie. A word about team New

:23:59. > :24:02.Zealand. They came here and led from the beginning. They did. You

:24:03. > :24:07.certainly have to take your hats on to them and say what an amazing

:24:08. > :24:10.campaign. You look back to 2013 and some very difficult moments, I'm

:24:11. > :24:14.sure reflecting on that narrow loss and going back to New Zealand and

:24:15. > :24:20.rebuilding, starting again and coming through. You know, totally

:24:21. > :24:24.dominant through this competition. This final America's Cup against

:24:25. > :24:28.Oracle Team USA, again dominant through all of that. An incredible

:24:29. > :24:31.campaign and journey for them and we look forward going to Auckland.

:24:32. > :24:36.Would you describe them as brave? Absolutely. You know, they've

:24:37. > :24:41.certainly, their approach to this new class of boat, I think, of all

:24:42. > :24:45.the teams, they've really thrown everything at it in terms of effort

:24:46. > :24:50.and time. Just the design philosophy, I think, and looking at

:24:51. > :24:54.what are the key performance differentiators and going for that.

:24:55. > :24:59.The cycling is one element of it, or the cycles. Their dagger board

:25:00. > :25:03.design is more dynamic and extreme than everybody else's. The foils are

:25:04. > :25:07.really the key performance differentiators in these boats.

:25:08. > :25:12.They've been braver, more extreme than anyone else and pulled that

:25:13. > :25:14.together. That and also stepping up their sailing team, how they

:25:15. > :25:20.performed, starting off with the seersies perhaps not sailing that

:25:21. > :25:23.well, but really developing through and really outsailing oracle in this

:25:24. > :25:28.final series. An incredible achievement. You win the trophy, you

:25:29. > :25:32.lift it above your head. Then you're responsible for the next one. What's

:25:33. > :25:38.the chat, what's the glimmer of the future? We've heard already that the

:25:39. > :25:45.yacht club of Sicily is the new challenger of record. It's effective

:25:46. > :25:48.team Prada. So they will now negotiate with Emirates Team New

:25:49. > :25:53.Zealand the rules, the class of boat, the venue, date for the next

:25:54. > :25:58.competition. Both of those two teams have huge history in the America's
