Could it be that the Oracle Team is out of phase with the moon? Should Larry have hired an astrologist as a consultant for the America’s Cup?<\/p>\n

Day 9 preview: No margin for error<\/h1>\n<\/hgroup>\n

\"SKIPPERS\"Emirates Team New Zealand and ORACLE TEAM USA return to the racecourse today for Races 12 and 13 of the 34th America\u2019s Cup. If the Kiwis can win either race, the series will end with the tiny island nation in the South Pacific the new America\u2019s Cup champions.Emirates Team New Zealand enters the day leading the series 8-1 and needs just one more victory to hoist the Auld Mug for the third time (1995, 2000). ORACLE TEAM USA needs to win eight consecutive races to stave off the Kiwis\u2019 charge and retain the trophy it won in 2010.<\/p>\n

Rival skippers Dean Barker and Jimmy Spithill have wheeled around their AC72s like singlehanded dinghies in the pre-start. Each has spoken of the closeness of the boats despite the different design approaches. Races 4 (ORACLE TEAM USA by 8 seconds), 10 (Emirates Team New Zealand by 16 seconds) and 11 (Kiwis by 15 seconds) all rank in the top-10 closest races in America\u2019s Cup Match history. The Kiwis have won two of those three, which has enabled them to open a nearly insurmountable lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that the match would\u2019ve been this close between two teams with different design concepts,\u201d said Barker. \u201cBoth teams have reacted very well to what they\u2019ve observed of the other team, and the boats have come together in terms of performance and strengths and weaknesses. It\u2019s quite unbelievable that the two boats are so close in performance across a wide range f conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Race 12 is scheduled to start at 1:15 pm PT, followed by Race 13 (if necessary) at 2:15 pm PT. The wind is forecast to be similar to today, light to moderate for the first race and building for the second race.<\/p>\n
