Emirates Team New Zealand rebounded nicely from a heart-stopping capsize two days earlier on Bermuda's Great Sound to clinch a spot in the America's Cup challenger finals. Team Japan is skippered by Dean Barker, who was sacked after Team New Zealand blew an 8-1 lead in the 2013 America's Cup and lost to Oracle Team USA. The winner of the challenger finals, which start Saturday, will face two-time defending champion Oracle Team USA in the 35th America's Cup match starting June 17. "We didn't ultimately get that America's Cup home," he said. In the third race, SoftBank Team Japan didn't give Artemis enough room at the fifth gate mark and was penalized.
