BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Emirates Team New Zealand has built a 6-2 lead over INEOS Britannia in the America’s Cup finals to move one point away from defending its title. Taihoro won both of Friday’s regattas in view of the Barcelona beach front by wide margins. New Zealand swept the first four regattas before the British bounced back by scoring two wins on Wednesday. The first of the AC75 foiling yachts to reach seven points will lift the Auld Mug. New Zealand is trying to win the America’s Cup for a third straight time and fifth overall. The British have never won it in its 173-year history and are in their first final in six decades.
