Massive choke of epic proportions looming as Team NZ get swallowed up byTteam USA

Its best of 17 races, the first to win 9.

Team NZ led 8-1 at one stage….it is now 8-7....unfortunately a lot of Aussies on team NZ

The boats these days are amazing....like theyre on skis

Far ,far different than what we cheered almost 30 years ago

Yeah it is an incredible story/comeback from team USA. It is now 8 all with the race tomorrow deciding the outcome. Effectively team NZ have squandered 7 match points.

The skipper of team USA is an Aussie. I am happy for him and look to him becoming some sort of cult hero - probably with a movie in this teams honor to be made if they win.

great pic ink. thanks. :slight_smile:

i saw john bertrand and alan bond on foxsports this morning and jb said that the americans had made technological changes to their yacht during the series that was a major reason for the turnaround. how could that be? doesnt sound all that fair to me… sounds like a grand prix team adding a turbo boost to their cars mid season?!

Amazing victory to the Australian lead team USA. Dont know much about yachting but that is an incredible sporting achievement.
