Aussies taste victory and defeat in America's Cup
The America's Cup pitted New Zealand against the might of the United States but it was two Australians who went head to head as the respective skippers in sailing's most prestigious race.


BUT

Ashby, who is the sole remaining member of the Team New Zealand's 2013 crew, said it was unbelievable to finally win back the Auld Mug.

NZ/Au rivalry
usual claim,we would jokingly 'do the same' huh WTF
better than wars


The America's Cup may have pitted New Zealand against the might of the United States but it was two Australians who went head to head as the respective skippers in sailing's most prestigious race.

Bendigo-born Glenn Ashby skippered Team New Zealand in Bermuda's Great Sound to a crushing 7-1 victory over Team USA, who were guided by Sydney's Jimmy Spithill.
