Team New Zealand finished fifth in race four of the America's Cup Jubilee yachting regatta off the Isle of Wight today but remained in shape to make the overall top four.
Dean Barker brought NZL32 home more than 15 minutes behind Prada's Luna Rossa, skippered by Francesco de Angelis.
Prada were disqualified from the Tuesday America's Cup Class win in the Around the Island race, so Team New Zealand were promoted to second behind GBR Challenge.
The America's Cup Class was scheduled to sail five fleet races, with the top four finishers advancing to a two-day match racing series.
Barker has had two thirds and a fifth. The first race was abandoned.
