Four years ago, on yachting's biggest stage, Team New Zealand were the victim of a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Alinghi - the America's Cup ripped from their grasp in embarrassing fashion.
Today, the team, rebuilt by Grant Dalton and skippered by Dean Barker, won a shot at redemption by handing out their own 5-0 beating on Italian syndicate Luna Rossa to win the Louis Vuitton Cup and the right to challnge the Swiss for the Auld Mug.
Yachting commentator Peter Lester talks to nzherald.co.nz about Team New Zealand's journey back to the top and how unique today's achievement is.
