Emirates Team New Zealand update - down to the wire

Issue date

Tomorrow is the day. The last day of the 34th America’s Cup.

Today’s pictures are here, the video here.

After 18 races the two teams are on eight points and tomorrow will race on San Francisco Bay for the 9th point – the one that will win them the America’s Cup.

It has been an epic regatta. It started with Oracle struggling to find both boat speed and form. Emirates Team New Zealand swept to lead the points table 8-1.

That was last week. Then Oracle stopped the charge, making an impressive comeback. They started the climb up the leader board and today drew level with Emirates Team New Zealand.

Tomorrow the 34th America’s Cup comes down to the wire. The winner of race 19 takes all.

A finish to the match that was unimaginable when it started on September 7.
