    Confidence from Ineos Britannia skipper Sir Ben Ainslie that his boat is battle-tested ahead of sailing's Louis Vuitton Cup final against Luna Rossa in Barcelona overnight

    Confidence from Ineos Britannia skipper Sir Ben Ainslie that his boat is battle-tested ahead of sailing's Louis Vuitton Cup final against Luna Rossa in Barcelona overnight


    The British crew comfortably beat their semi-final opponents Alinghi 5-2, who they hand-picked after topping the round-robin series.

    Ainslie says the semi-final allowed their crew to focus on areas they needed to work on.



    Racing begins at midnight.

    The winner will challenge Team New Zealand for the America's Cup next month.
