Having been behind by two points before the
regatta began, Oracle were losing 8-1, but on Tuesday managed to level with New
Zealand at 8-8. The event goes to a decider for only the third time in its
162-year history.

Team Oracle USA
captain Jimmy Spithill said: “I think we’re the underdog and I’m going to
keep running with that and use that energy.




“The
exciting thing for me is seeing how this team has gelled together. Sometimes
you need to face that barrel of the gun to come together. You can get wobbly in
the knees or you can look into the barrel. Every day we’ve managed to step it
up more.”




Meanwhile, New Zealand are still feeling
confident with team captain Dean Barker saying: “We do believe we can win,
we’ve known we can win this thing for a long time.”
