Larry Ellison wants to take yachting's greatest spectacle around the world, creating a world series similar to that of the Formula 1 circuit in motor racing, writes Dana Johannsen.

Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill has revealed his surprise at Team New Zealand's decision not to train on lay days, reserve days and other days off.

Team New Zealand say crew members were consulted about the decision to take a lay-day at a crucial time during last year's failed America's Cup campaign.

His decision demonstrates the tricky position Dalton was in, trying to balance the demands of sponsors and stakeholders with those of the team, writes Dana Johannsen.

Team NZ boss Grant Dalton says skipper Dean Barker was "ambushed'' when he made critical comments about his role in last year's America's Cup campaign.

With his position on the boat in question, Barker felt the need to point out that a lot of the decision-making was taken out of his hands, writes Dana Johannsen.

Ministerial credit-card records were released yesterday. So how much did Ministers spend on travelling to the America's Cup regatta in San Francisco?

Team New Zealand have lost a key designer to Artemis as syndicates firm up their design teams ahead of the release of the new class rules.

Champion UK sailor Sir Ben Ainslie came close to quitting the sport after the death of his friend at the America's Cup, but went on to help defeat Team NZ, he has revealed.

It was supposed to be a high-tech piece of kit derived from a jumbo jet that only Larry Ellison could afford.

It's all about the money. There are suggestions the 35th America's Cup will now be fought out with team budgets of about US$80m.

America's Cup sailing races generated far less economic activity in San Francisco than the $900m projected, according to reports.

The America's Cup could be coming to NZ after all, if early speculation regarding the shape of the next regatta comes to pass.

Auckland ratepayers paid some of the costs for 3 News presenter Hilary Barry to attend the America's Cup as part of a $220,114 spend-up in San Francisco by the council's tourism and economic arm.

Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill says it would be "inconceivable" to have an America's Cup without Team New Zealand in it.

Details revealing how Oracle Team USA used the foil control system in their America's Cup victory over Team New Zealand have been released.

Parties associated with America's Cup sailing winner Sir Russell Coutts are understood to have bought Oracle House in Auckland, making him Larry Ellison's landlord.

Sinking money into sport is always a tough sell for governments, writes Dana Johannsen. No matter what reports they produce that point to tangible and intangible benefits to the country, opponents can always come with a list of more worthy causes.

More than half of Team NZ's 110 employees will be out of a job despite the Government offering interim funding to keep the syndicate afloat until May next year.
