    Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling expects next year's America's Cup to be more competitive than the last, as a quartet of their sailors receive another confidence boost

    Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling expects next year's America's Cup to be more competitive than the last, as a quartet of their sailors receive another confidence boost


    The defenders have won the second preliminary regatta in Jeddah - defeating Luna Rossa in a final race in bumpy conditions on the Red Sea.

    While Burling admits the America's Cup is largely a design contest, accuracy on the water is crucial.
