The first team to 7 points won the cup. They sailed 9 races, of which NZ won 8. NZ started with a 1-pt negative handicap because USA earned an advantage by winning the preliminary series. |

| Yes, "the auld mug" is an affectionate phrase referring to the America's Cup, first won by the schooner America in a race around the Isle of Wight in 1851. |

The "auld Mug" name goes back years, The Pommies most likely gave it that name as Auld = Old in scottish
But it has gone through a few reincarnations since then they race it in Funny little boats that can hit 70 knots so its a bit more exciting now
We could change the rules and make a change to waka's and paddles, that would stop uncle larry!!!!!
