The battle for the Auld Mug resumes off the Catalan coast. Follow the third and fourth races
Here’s Reuters’ take on that first race: BARCELONA, Oct 13 - New Zealand won the third America’s Cup race against Britain on Sunday to take a 3-0 lead in the first-to-seven series, after a near collision between the two before the start. Ben Ainslie’s British team were penalised after failing to keep clear in response to an aggressive close-quarters manoeuvre by Peter Burling’s New Zealand crew in the pre-start. “It was a little bit uncomfortable ..
with how close the boats got,” Burling said laughing on the America’s Cup live broadcast immediately after the end of the race off Barcelona. Burling said the New Zealand team had been “working on little bits and pieces” in preparing to defend the America’s Cup against Britain, which won the right to challenge them. The 33-year-old Kiwi skipper said it was “great to finally execute it in a race ... and to make it count”.
