England’s double win on Wednesday was the highlight of the day. The Kiwis will return on Friday with their most successful of the season and have won both regattas, which means they are one victory away from retaining the America’s Cup title. The British were unable to defeat them and are now risking their continuation in every competition they compete in, because Emirates Team New Zealand only needs one and, on the other hand, Ineos Britannia five.

If confirmed, the next meeting between the New Zealanders and the English will be on Sunday, in the ninth and tenth regattas. But in this race you can’t make many plans.
