Britain secured a crucial victory over New Zealand in the America's Cup final on Wednesday, narrowing the defending champions' lead to 4-2 in the first-to-seven series.
The British crew, under the leadership of skipper Ben Ainslie, strategically outmaneuvered the New Zealand team helmed by Peter Burling during the decisive pre-start phase, propelling themselves across the starting line with their swift AC75 sailboat.
By leading through all eight legs of the race, Britain demonstrated impressive speed, reaching over 35 knots, and successfully fended off a last-minute challenge from New Zealand to clinch the win.
