As it happened: Louis Vuitton America's Cup qualifiers - day 6 - Team NZ put rest of crews on notice

It looks like Team New Zealand are the team to beat when there is light wind in Bermuda.

Peter Burling's crew have looked 'exceptionally impressive' in this morning's win over Team BAR.

After a lack of wind yesterday the lay day is being used to catch up on the schedule.

The first race between Team Japan and Team France saw both boats struggle before Dean Barker earned a crucial win. But Team New Zealand had no such trouble in the light wind, cruising around the course and almost passing BAR a second time before crossing the finish line.

Dean Barker's Team Japan gave Oracle Team USA are real scare, leading the race through the first three legs before giving up the lead. Oracle ended up winning by 32 seconds to move one point ahead of Team New Zealand on the standings again.

The final race of the day sees Team France take on BAR.
