America's Cup: Emirates Team New Zealand advances to face Oracle - San Jose Mercury News: "But the big question remains: Can the New Zealand team, funded by the government, an airline and other corporate sponsors, beat the Oracle Team USA powerhouse owned by billionaire Larry Ellison? "The bottom line is nobody in the know knows," said John Bertrand, the Australian who broke the Americans' 132-year hold on the America's Cup when his Austrailia II team beat Dennis Conner's Liberty in 1983. "The next two weeks could be the decider in terms of development. Every time (the teams) go out, they get faster. They improved in speed by 30 percent since they were first launched.""

Emirates Team New Zealand wins second consecutive Louis Vuitton Cup / America’s Cup: "Emirates Team New Zealand won the 30th anniversary Louis Vuitton Cup with a 3:20 victory over Italy’s Luna Rossa Challenge in the eighth and deciding race. The Kiwis, who beat Luna Rossa in the previous Louis Vuitton Cup in 2007, won the series 7-1. The victory makes Emirates Team New Zealand the official challenger to ORACLE TEAM USA for the 34th America’s Cup in the “September Showdown” beginning Sept. 7. It’s the fifth time in the past six America’s Cup Matches that the Kiwis will be a contestant in the match. . . ."
