BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - America's Cup crews in Barcelona have been busy building Lego models of New Zealand's AC75, with even British skipper Ben Ainslie finding time to piece one together with his young son.

New Zealand are holders of the America's Cup and being challenged for the "Auld Mug" by a British team led by Ainslie, who has made it his mission to "bring the Cup home" for the first time in its 173-year-history.
