    A masterclass in picking wind shifts has propelled Team New Zealand to within one win of retaining the America's Cup

    A masterclass in picking wind shifts has propelled Team New Zealand to within one win of retaining the America's Cup


    The Kiwis have had two dominant wins over Brittania - by more than a minute and then 55 seconds - to move to a 6-2 advantage in the first-to-seven series.

    Flight controller Andy Maloney says with the breeze changing all the time, on-board communication was paramount.



    Tomorrow's forecast is looking super-light and possibly unfit for racing.
