Team New Zealand have sailed into the America's Cup challengers final in Bermuda after accounting for Britain's Ben Ainslie Racing 5-2.
The Kiwi syndicate won two of the three races on Thursday to clinch their semi-final, having held a 3-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
They will face Sweden, skippered by Australia's Nathan Outteridge, or Japan for a chance to face Oracle Team USA in the final proper.
Team USA is skippered by another Australian, James Spithill,
It marks a disappointing end to the British challenge headed by Olympic great Ainslie, which was highly fancied after winning the Cup's world series, contested over the last two years.
They lacked the speed to match a Team NZ syndicate which shook off the capsize in race four two days earlier.
They came from behind to win race five by 31 seconds before BAR rebounded to win the sixth race by 20 seconds.
Team NZ ensured the semi-final wouldn't stretch into another day when they sailed clear to dominate race seven, winning by 46 seconds.
Unlike the first two races on Friday, Kiwi helmsman Peter Burling won the start and his crew never gave Ainslie a look-in as they extended their lead over the seven legs.
Encouragingly for Team NZ, their AC50 catamaran was functioning smoothly following repairs needed after their dramatic pitchpole incident.
"Full credit to our shore crew and everyone who pitched in just to get us back out here and get the boat pretty much working 100 per cent," Burling said.
"In that second race we missed a few shifts and were too conservative at the start.
"In the third race we knew what we had to do."
Ainslie says his team improved across the regatta but left their run too late.
"We struggled coming into this with a lack of speed for a number of different reasons," he said.
"The whole team has dug so deep to get us more competitive, to the point where there wasn't a lot of difference between the teams today."
