I have heard a rumour though that team USA has been working hard on a pedalo module that should be ready to drop into Oracle by about race 7.

Yep I do hope they NZ team can find that same momentum and forge on.
I love the irony of team U -S - A, Kiwi technology backed by endless Yankee $$$ and skippered by Aussie expat
Regardless........... C'MON KiWIS you've earned this one!!!

You'd think so, but it's exactly what happened last time. The kiwis were at winning point and oracle brought it all the way back and won.

Congrats to the Kiwis, the best boat and crew won. Let the drinking begin, for Kiwi fans anyway.

For Australian Glenn Ashby who helped call strategy aboard the champion entrant, victory was all the sweeter. He was the only remaining sailor from the defeat on San Francisco Bay in 2013. "It has been an amazing journey for us as a team. Personally for me it is a feeling of relief and immense satisfaction," said Ashby. Burling paying special mention to the veteran Ashby's influence: "He plays a massive part in what we do," said Burling
