Ainsley will pull it back,

Not if it remains lite winds, the boat can barely get on the foils

The Italians make it 3-0 with a win by 13 seconds in better conditions boats getting up to 50 knots, best of 13 race series

Race 2 day 2 the Italians win by 800m/ 41 seconds to make it 4-0, the British almost losing the boat in the pre- start.

Luna rossa prada perelli is one race away from qualification for the Americas cup final it now leads Brittania 6-1 in the best of 13 race series.

Final will be Italy taking on the holders team NZ first race on march 6th

Very disappointing performance from Team Ineos....especially after blowing both oppo boats out of the water in the semis.

First 2 final races, these boats are very close in speed after day one its NZ 1 Italy 1. Nothing between them was all about the starts

Final locked at 3-3 after Italy takes first blood on race day 3 and NZ takes the 2nd race by the biggest margin so far.

Final stands at 5-3 with Nz taking both races in lite shift conditions.
Italy won the start in the first race with NZ having to pass downward with a comfortable win.
2nd race Italy won the start when downward NZ caught Italy but had to tact coming off its foils, ITaly run out to a 2000m lead but came off its foils at the top mark for NZ to come back and win by 2000m what a race.

Nz takes out race one today and the Americas cup,
