It was sweet atonement for the Kiwis. In 2013 on San Francisco Bay, Team New Zealand, then led by Dean Barker, reached match point at 8-1. Oracle then staged one of the biggest comebacks in sports, winning eight straight races to retain the Auld Mug.
While Nathan Outteridges team on Artemis Racing found their boat unable to deal with conditions that saw winds nearing the 24-knot limit, dropping both their races to Dean Barkers SoftBank Team Japan, the biggest talking point of the day was Emirates Team New Zealands capsize.Nathan Outteridges struggles continued with another mistake, this time a nose dive out of the gate 5 turn, further hampering their momentum, while, in contrast, Dean Barkers team remained composed and extended their lead to 47 seconds.Attention turned back to the battle between SoftBank Team Japan and Artemis Racing in the third race of the day, with the pressure on Nathan Outteridge following defeat to Dean Barker earlier in the day.Back-to-back victories on the day for SoftBank Team Japan gives Dean Barkers team a 3-1 advantage over Nathan Outteridges Artemis Racing, meaning just two more wins would see the Japanese team progress to the Louis Vuitton Americas Cup Challenger Playoffs Final.
However, they did not have it all their own way as they had to battle back from behind against Dean Barkers team as SoftBank Team Japan gained the better momentum out of the start box, leading going into mark 1.
