Ernesto Bertarelli, President of Alinghi, and Defender of the America’s Cup, on losing the America’s Cup Match today: “It was a little bit of Las Vegas which is why I don’t think the race should have happened, but it did and now the result is here so we will take it. We look...

Strange times! At first it looked like New Zealand’s bold move to take the right side of the course off the start line would be the race decider. Then it looked like the key moment would be when Alinghi wriggled around New Zealand’s bow at the last mark. However, there was one last twist in the tail…

The Port has taken on a whole new life over the last few days with the arrival of the big event. Today, after a ridiculously exciting race, Kiwi and Swiss supporters are both buzzing. Of course, today’s winners, the Kiwis, are considerably more rambunctious this evening, and their...

Emirates Team New Zealand won its second consecutive race in the 32nd America’s Cup Match, beating Alinghi by 25 seconds in a thrilling race that will go down in the books as one of the most exciting matches in Cup history.

Emirates Team New Zealand earned an incredible win in Race Three of the 32nd America's Cup to take a 2-1 lead in the Match. The Kiwis came from behind on the final run to overtake Alinghi and win the race by 25 seconds. But that doesn't tell the whole story. Early in this race, it appeared as...

Some of us weren’t born with salt water coursing through our blood, and navigating a sport like sailing, littered with jargon like spinnakers and genoas, and marks, tacks and jibes, without any previous knowledge can be daunting.

Historically, it is very rare for the America’s Cup Match to be a close series. But with Alinghi and Emirates Team New Zealand each earning one win apiece and spending much of the first two races sailing around the course separated by less than 20 seconds, this 32nd America’s Cup Match...

The 32nd America’s Cup was always going to stand apart from the others: the first time in Europe, a new management organisation, a new competition format, and a new message to transmit to the world.

With its comeback win on Sunday afternoon, Emirates Team New Zealand has tied the score in the America’s Cup Match at 1-1. A team needs five wins to claim the America’s Cup, so the Match is now a ‘first to four’ event.   For Alinghi, it’s the Swiss team’s...

Tuesday 26 June 2007 Weak low pressure in Southern Spain produces light northeasterly gradient breeze early in the day. As the land heats up, easterly sea breeze develops 6-8 knots and builds 8-10 knots later in the afternoon as the wind veers towards the southeast.  Some cloud inland and...
