The winner
This is the last edition for the America Class. The race is very close and it is maneuvering errors in both teams that determine the results. Alinghi finishes the seventh race with a one-second lead at the line and finishes 5-2.
The loser
Team New Zealand was unlucky on several occasions, won only two races and had to concede defeat.
