BRITAIN reignited their America’s Cup bid by winning both races in Barcelona today to close the gap on leaders New Zealand to two points.
Sir Ben Ainslie’s Britannia boat capitalised on an error at the start by their rivals to win race five by over a minute and claim Britain’s first America’s Cup point since 1934.
And they held off a gutsy comeback by New Zealand in the second race of the day to make it 4-2 and give them hope of further reducing the deficit when racing resumes on Friday.
