Britain's INEOS Britannia One Win Away from America's Cup Final

The British team leads Luna Rossa 6-4 in the Louis Vuitton Cup, with a chance to secure their spot against New Zealand on Friday.

  • INEOS Britannia won both races on Wednesday, taking a 6-4 lead over Italy's Luna Rossa in the first-to-seven Louis Vuitton Cup series.
  • The British team needs just one more victory to advance to the America's Cup final against defending champions Team Emirates New Zealand.
  • In challenging sea conditions, both teams' boats reached speeds over 50 knots, with Britannia managing to maintain control despite a brief scare.
  • The Italian team struggled with their choice of a smaller jib, which affected their performance in the choppy Mediterranean waters.
  • Ben Ainslie, co-helm of INEOS Britannia, emphasized the team's resilience and skill, countering criticism that previous wins were due to luck.
