The America's Cup is on knife-edge with Team New Zealand potentially just one race away from victory over challengers Luna Rossa.

Team New Zealand  won yesterday's only race against Luna Rossa; the second scheduled race was abandoned due to light winds.

Down 3-2 at the weekend, the defenders have since scored four wins in a row. Meanwhile discussion is already turning to where the next contest could be held.

Kathryn talks with Sarah Ell, North Shore sailor, writer and journalist who has covered multiple America's Cup contests since 1988.
