The first round was emphatically for the kiwis.
Ben Ainslie raised the stakes before competing today, saying that a system provided by the New Zealand team was behind his setbacks on day one.
He blamed a component of the blade tilt hydraulic system for the problems, a one-size-fits-all solution designed by the New Zealand team.
Team NZ skipper Peter Burling ignored their comments and then let his navigation do the talking, establishing a 20-second lead at the first mark.

They almost hit the skates, narrowly avoiding hitting the marker with aluminum foil before going down leg two. They then continued to extend their lead until stage four, when they lost air time after lifting too much.
However, the Brits were unable to regain the advantage as their winless streak continues, although they will be delighted with a sharper performance.
In today’s race one, Luna Rossa stunned America Magic, beating the previously undefeated American group by 12 seconds.
