(Reuters) -Team New Zealand and three-times America's Cup-winning skipper Peter Burling have parted ways after failing to agree to terms ahead of the 38th edition of the regatta.

Team NZ said its management and Burling had been in discussions since the third successive Cup triumph against Britain in Barcelona last year but were unable to reach agreement.
