BARCELONA (Reuters) - Britain reached their first America's Cup final for 60 years on Friday, defeating Italy to set up a head-to-head against holders New Zealand this month off Barcelona.
There were screams and shouts of celebration among the eight sailors on board the British AC75 foiling boat after they crossed the finish line to claim the Louis Vuitton Cup series over Italy and with it the right to challenge New Zealand.
