ANOTHER HAIR-RAISING MOMENT FOR OUTTERIDGE AND JENSEN AT THE AMERICA’S CUP

There’s been another hair-raising moment for Aussie sailors Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen at the America’s Cup.
Their boat Artemis Racing turned sharply, and briefly nose-dived overnight – but the crew recovered to win the race and tie the Challenger finals series at two-all.
Team New Zealand then won back-to-back races, leaving Outteridge and Jensen needing to win three straight, for outright victory.
“I think if we just take some errors out of our sailing and just really keep sailing aggressively like we are at the start and putting pressure on Team New Zealand then I’m sure we can win three.”
