Emirates Team New Zealand did not let go another day and was awarded the seventh and final point that took once again to glory and there are already five; so the Cup will remain in Auckland... After the 6-3 on the score on the seventh day of the Rossa Moon he had no choice but to win the four remaining clashes on the paper.

The initial equality in this Copa América, with a 3-3 in the first six sleeves, made it dream of a possible return to Europe - for now only the Swiss Alinghi has achieved it. Rossa moon with Francesco Bruni and James Spihill to the cane had to try everything, only worth winning.

Emirates Team New Zealand with Peter Burling left this day with the tranquility that give three points of advantage, but in sport everything is possible, and but they ask themselves in 2013 when Oracle with Spihill went back to Team New Zealand Dean Barker's 1-8 to leave it in a 9-8. On this occasion the kiwis were not willing to give in more and they ended up winning by the fast track and placing on Wednesday the 7-3 on the final marker, and giving no more options to Luna Rossa, which he gave

In this edition three teams have tried to take away the Emirates Team New Zealand: Luna Rossa, Ineos Team UK and American Magic... in the end it was Luna Rossa the most consistent, but once again it could not with the Defender, after participating in two finals of the American Cup. The first in 2000 against Russell Coutts's Black Magic and this time against Peter Burling's.

From now on, the Team New Zealand that he has led since the death of Peter Blake, Grant Dalton, will be remarking the rules with the next Challenger of Record. This time it was Luna Rossa, next time it speculates that it could be Ineos Team UK.

The Emirates Team New Zealand will have to wait at least one more day if you want to revalidate the American Cup they defend against Luna Rossa. This Tuesday could have been the day, but the wind was determined to extend the end. He won the first of the two planned matchs, putting the 6-3 on the score and only a victory to retain the Cup in the Southern Continent remains.

In the only contested race the Italians had the obligation to win to get close to the kiwi that they left with a 5-3 on the score. Francesco Bruni and James Spihill were able to master the first stretch, even if only for a second. It was a real match race throughout the test, with loose winds the two ships were sailing practically and in unison.

The Italians in front and less than a length the kiwis behind waiting for the slightest failure. The distance between the two was only 50 meters, but in the last stretch, Team New Zealand was able to read the wind better and took advantage of a breeze on the right side of the race fields that served them to break and pass the Rossa Moon to end up taking an advantage of 400 meters and winning the test for 29 seconds.

There was a second test ahead that could be the final one... but the weather conditions were not finally given so that a second test could be disputed, so Team New Zealand will have to wait to lift the trophy, and the Rossa Moon will have to appeal to the heroic, if you want to bring it to Europe. James Spithill already knows what this is when with Oracle he went back to the kiwis an 8-1 in the 34 Cup America. Will he be able to repeat it?

The effect, which can be decisive, of the Defense of the 36 Cup America, of the Emirates Team New Zealand, by achieving two consecutive partial victories... that occur at a crucial moment of the competition... after the suspension of the tests on the Sunday day due to the lack of wind... thus the simultaneous marks a worrying 5-3 against the Italians...

So far the equality in the marker had been maximum... and this that in the first test of the day, seventh of the global, the Rossa Moon, despite not winning the exit, dominated with relative comfort the first test of the day by exceeding the Team New Zealand in 8 and 10 seconds respectively; but in the second round they lost all the income obtained by clearly leaving the layline, giving up a precious space, and seeing as the kiwi took the board of the right and advanced them to face the last two sections ahead and win the test for 58 seconds.

The logic that had prevailed so far said that the eighth test would be for Luna Rossa, but nothing further than reality. And this that the Italians came to dominate much of the manga and even gained a lot of ground when halfway through, up to 1500 meters and more than 4 minutes. The passage through the third buoy began to be a nuisance for Italians who were not able to blow up the ship as the wind fell almost completely, while the kiwis did manage to make it fly and sail 20 knots faster. The fourth section was a drama for the Italians, who looking for wind left the race field and were penalized.

The Rossa Moon did not fuck and took advantage of it Team New Zealand to take over, sailed 27 knots by 1 the Rossa Moon. The face of the crew of the Italian team was a poem, after having had the race in hand and ending up losing it, when they managed to lift the ship again it was late, having the kiwis plus a mile ahead and winning by 3: 55.

aaaa

This Tuesday can be decisive, as if Luna Rossa wins the two tests put the tie on the score, if Team New Zealand wins the two will be again champion... and with only one victory will be another to keep the Cup.

The fourth day of the 36 American Cup, in which tests 7 and 8 were to be held, ended up being suspended due to a lack of wind in Auckland. For several hours, the ships were waiting to see if any of the two teams, Emirates Team New Zealand or Luna Rossa, were able to untie the tie to 3 in the marker.

Finally, and seeing the impossibility of any test being held, the Regatas Committee with Ian Murray and the Spanish Maria Torrijo at the front, sent everyone to land, on a Sunday day where thousands of fans went to sea to see the show.

For this Monday the forecast is that good winds of 15 knots of intensity will blow, so if so you will reach the equator of this final to 13 match, that is, the first to reach 7 will take the Cup.
