America's Cup Preview - Day 6
Alinghi are one win up after the Kiwis blow out on the downwind leg. Has the Kiwi confidence been dented, or can they come back to level the score?
Weather-wise we can now see that both boats are pretty evenly matched throughout the wind range. Now it's a sailor's race where tactics, handling and nerve are what count most.
