But there's been no secrecy around the blatant spying of Oracle and Team New Zealand on each other's boats during the five-day America's Cup break. Both teams have dropped all pretence about their intelligence-gathering ahead of the final resuming in Bermuda this Sunday New Zealand time. With Peter Burling and the red-hot Kiwis leading 3-0 in the first-to-seven-wins showdown, desperate Oracle spies went about their work today with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Team New Zealand had not been out on the Great Sound the previous day but when the boat and crew returned to the water today, Oracle spies were everywhere. Ray Davies told Newstalk ZB's Rachel Smalley that the team continues to keep a close eye on Oracle.
