Knots x 1.852 = km/h

Watch the racing live on Youtube
Race day starts at 5AM Pacific
The Kiwis are up by 4 races to 0 but the british skipper has overcome that before
The next race will be Wednesday morning at 5AM
Go to youtube and type "Americas cup Race 5 Live" into the search box.
You gan look at past races "Americas cup race 3 Replay" (Race 3 was a good one)

Upate
The Kiwis were able to retain the cup 7 races to 2
In match racing its often whoever gets the best start however the NZ boat was able to pass and not look back.
