New Zealand in America's Cup

News summary

Emirates Team New Zealand launched their America's Cup defense with a convincing victory over Ineos Britannia in the opening race, finishing 41 seconds ahead. Skippered by Peter Burling, the Kiwis secured a 1-0 lead in the best-of-13 series after a strong start, never trailing during the race. Despite light winds delaying the race, New Zealand's exceptional upwind performance and strategic sailing maintained their lead against the British team, who faced technical issues at the start. This win marks New Zealand's attempt to secure the trophy for a third consecutive time while Britain continues its pursuit of its first-ever victory in the competition's 173-year history. A second race is scheduled for later in the day, with both teams bracing for another competitive face-off.
