Emirates Team New Zealand tactician Ray Davies talks about a frustrating
tenth day of racing in the 34th America's Cup which saw the Kiwi team - who
need just a single point to win the Cup - build up a massive lead over
their rivals Oracle Team USA in the first race of the day, only to find
they were out of time; and squander an early lead in the re-sail to allow
Oracle to close to within five points.

The day after British Olympic hero Sir Ben Ainslie got the call up to sub
in as tactician for Oracle Team USA in the America's Cup Final series, we
sat down with him at the American syndicate's team base at San Francisco's
Pier 80.

We started by asking whether Ainslie had enjoyed his first experience of
America's Cup Final action, despite having lost both races yesterday. We
also quiz Ainslie on what he thinks Oracle can do now to switch the
momentum against the dominant Emirates Team New Zealand squad and what
being the first Brit in decades to race in an AC final might do for his
chances of raising enough money for a credible British syndicate in the
future.

After watching Oracle Team USA gift Emirates Team New Zealand a critical
victory in race five of the 34th America's Cup after a tactical and crew
handling foul up whilst leading and then chose to use up their postponement
card in an effort to regroup, we ask have we seen the last of Oracle Team
USA tactician John Kostecki in this America's Cup and if so could we see a
late call up for British Olympic hero Sir Ben Ainslie?

We speak first to Kiwi tactician Ray Davies to get his perspective on their
victory in today's race five; and then to TV New Zealand commentator and
professional sailor Peter Lester to try to assess how much trouble Oracle
Team USA are in and what options they have left.
