America's Cup: Races 9 & 10

3rd & 7 37yd

Welcome to live updates of the sixth day of racing in the 34th America's Cup. Well is doubtful we can get any more dramatic then yesterday's events after Team NZ very nearly tipped over but you've got to expect the unexpected with these boats so tune in for what should be another action-packed day.

We begin the day with race 9, which was postponed yesterday due to high winds. That will start at 8.10am with race 10 set for a 9.10am start, however high winds are again expected to put the second race of the day in doubt.

Oracle Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill, I have to mention he's an Australian here, as added a bit of spice to today's racing by posting a photo with some strong words for Team NZ. See Dana Johannsen's story here: www.nzherald.co.nz

Looking fresh out on the race course. Perhaps too windy for any racing today! ! @americascup

We're about 15 minutes away from the start of race 9. Another huge day in San Fran, if they race at all that is.

Thanks for keeping us updated. The prosperity of NZ relies on these guys.

by Steve 9/15/2013 8:05:56 PM
Team NZ will need an Oracle mistake to get back into this. A big improvement from Oracle upwind then we saw last week.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:23:43 PM
Lead now out to 345m. Oracle in control of this one.

Oracle extend their lead further again. They are cruising upwind. A huge moment in this regatta.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:25:07 PM
It's on now.. Yanks pick up 2 races today for 3 in a row

by Mike 9/15/2013 8:25:32 PM
Lead still at the 300m+ mark.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:26:02 PM
Oracle tack once again and it's another clean move. They have been faultless so far today.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:26:31 PM
These conditions seems to help Oracle, but they've also made some changes to the boat and crew which have worked.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:27:07 PM
All Team NZ can do is the get the French Guy who reffed the Abs games Saturday to take charge - they might have a chance of winning then

by Joe 9/15/2013 8:27:26 PM
Larry has spoken!

by DKO 9/15/2013 8:28:31 PM
The lead was 18 seconds at mark two. Looks like it could be double that around mark 3.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:29:14 PM
Oracle sail into move breeze which could increase the lead further.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:29:36 PM
Oracle get ready to round mark 3.

Here come Team NZ...

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:30:46 PM
Oracle Team USA lead doubled at mark 3. So there we go about thinking Team NZ dominate the upwind leg....

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:31:24 PM
TIM Halfway down leg 4, USA leads by 750m

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/15/2013 8:33:27 PM
Oracle lead now at 711m. A complete performance by Oracle. Yesterday Team NZ handed them a point with a mistake. Today they have certainly earned the win. The start was vital.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:33:40 PM
Not all bad news for Team NZ fans. They have port advantage in race 10.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:34:05 PM
This will be the first time that we have lost with Grant Dalton on board! :(

by cjt 9/15/2013 8:34:12 PM
Barker is going to have to win the starts if we want the cup, cant rely on a superior boat anymore

by ben 9/15/2013 8:34:16 PM
Put those red sox on!!

Oracle gybe again and yet again it's a very clean gybe.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:35:29 PM
USA Rounded Mark 4, 20:42.6 after start

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/15/2013 8:35:43 PM
They are in great form today as they eye mark 4

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:35:44 PM
This makes it interesting

by David 9/15/2013 8:35:49 PM
Media thought we already had the cup in the bag, can see Oracle taking it now

by big j 9/15/2013 8:35:51 PM
Yeah Barker needs to work on his starts. Not lost yet (Very far from it) they need 8 and we need 3 so it's very doable.
