Team New Zealand are on course for a rematch with Alinghi

The Kiwis moved into a 4-0 lead over Luna Rossa on Tuesday with another dominant victory in Valencia.

The Italian team briefly took the lead thanks to an erratic wind but Team New Zealand chased them down hard to cross the finish line 52 seconds ahead.

Swiss team Alinghi will begin the defence of their title on 23 June.

Luna Rossa has trailed around every marker in the series and, despite overtaking the Kiwis early on, it was no different in the fourth leg of the finals.

Team New Zealand tacked to port and used their superior pace to peg back the Italian team, whose challenge quickly faded.
