Americas cup

Team NZ with a 32 second lead at the start of Leg 7.

[sparky]

Team NZ lead through the last top gate.

[sparky]

The British boat is 32 seconds behind into the race home.

[sparky]

New bigger NZ rudder seems to be working very well.

[sparky]

And Team NZ win Race 2 to take a 2-0 lead......

[sparky]

A nearly perfect performance by Team NZ today, but the British boat is fast. A long way to go.

[sparky]

Team NZ tested there in a tight race but held their nerve and won by 27 seconds. But that doesn't tell the whole story of a tough race that could have gone either way.

[sparky]

Ineos 0-2, but they have suggested that they are going to be competitive.

[sparky]

Great racing. Well done to both teams!

Two more races scheduled for tomorrow with NZ leading 2-0 in the race to 7 and the Auld Mug.

First race was a clear trouncing. Second race was more competitive but we seemed to read the conditions better.

These boats are incredible. 35 knots in 8 knots of wind. It’s great watching and the races are a good time too.

Ainslie too good for the Brit’s to not bounce back.

Is the first leg always set to be upwind? If so, big advantage for NZ.

[W32]

This might be a pretty boring series. The NZ boat is faster in all conditions. Ineos had a bigger jib than NZ today which made it “competitive”

[sparky]

Team NZ win race 3 after the British receive a penalty.

3-0!

[sparky]

52 seconds the difference that time.

[sparky]

The average speed of the two boats is similar, but Team NZ are much more efficient and careful in their movements.

The winds are too low so Race 4 is postponed until tomorrow.

Team NZ lead 3-0 after Day 2.

Is the pressure of being 0-3 is getting to Sir Ben Ainslie?
