Sailing - America's Cup set to reveal its speed secrets

REUTERS: Team New Zealand skipper Peter Burling believes his boat has the edge in speed over America's Cup challengers Luna Rossa in"a lot of conditions" but conceded on Tuesday that he would not be certain of that advantage until the racing started.

"I definitely think there's a lot of conditions where we do have a faster boat but there's a lot of conditions where Luna Rossa has proved to be strong."One of the areas where the Italian challengers were perceived to have an edge was in light winds and Burling said Team New Zealand had made"some pretty big strides forward" in that department since they last raced in December.
