The winner
The New Zealand boat is faster and the crew is in complete control. Russell Couts is at the helm and the skipper is still Peter Blake. He wins by 5 races to zero.
the looser
Dennis Conner lost the cup for the second time. At the last minute, he chose Young America over Start & Stripes because it seemed faster, but they didn't know the boat well. They were eliminated 5-0
