    Team New Zealand chief executive Grant Dalton is backing science over money as the key to his crew keeping the America's Cup in their grasp

    Team New Zealand chief executive Grant Dalton is backing science over money as the key to his crew keeping the America's Cup in their grasp


    The Kiwi boat came away with the Auld Mug for the third straight regatta last month, after beating Ineos Britannia 7-2 in the best-of-13 decider.

    Dalton says the science behind the boat will keep Team New Zealand afloat, with some of their rivals getting huge financial backings.
