Well at 4pm today, east coast, on NBCSC (the old Versus channel) you should be able to watch what will be the final race, wind permitting.
They are now tied at 8-8, next win takes the Cup home. Wind forecast is about 20-24, which will put it right at the 24.4kt limit, I just hope they get the last race in. The Kiwi's were up huge, like 8-1, but have been on a losing streak lately.
Yesterday they even won the start, and were ahead going into the third leg (of 5) but got passed when they did some stupid stuff (tried to lee-bow the US team). Had the Kiwi's won yesterday, it would be over, but it's down to one race now, who ever wins today, wins the America's Cup. The American boat (Team Oracle, funded by Larry Ellison) has really had an epic comeback.
