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

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.
