Britain One Win Away from America's Cup

Ineos Britannia has moved to a 6-4 lead over Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton Cup, needing just one more win to secure a place in the America's Cup, an event they last contested in 1964. The British team clinched two narrow victories in challenging sea conditions off Barcelona, with co-helm Ben Ainslie describing the sailing as 'bloody hard'. Ainslie, backed by billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and Formula One engineering expertise, aims to finally bring the Cup home to Britain, which has never won it since its inception in 1851. Despite strong performances from the Italians, who admitted to tactical errors, they remain determined to fight back in the next races. The ultimate winner will challenge New Zealand, the reigning champions, later this month. Ainslie's crew displayed resilience amidst difficult conditions, showcasing their teamwork and strategic sailing maneuvers.
