Yachting: Barker back with a chance

Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker has salvaged his chances of reaching the semifinals of yachting's Congressional Cup after winning three of his four latest races.

Barker had five victories from nine races after the first round-robin for the cup, being sailed off the United States. Leading the regatta is Oracle Racing's Peter Holmberg, who is unbeaten.

Barker's only loss on day two was against Holmberg, from the United States, whose crew are all New Zealanders.
