Dean Barker will meet his former team mate Russell Coutts in the match race semi-final of the America's Cup World Series regatta in Plymouth, England.

Team New Zealand was seeded second and Oracle third after the six fleet races were completed today.

With two second placing and a fourth today, Barker was on 50 points at day's end, six adrift of a consistent Artemis with two firsts and a second.

First, second and third seeds go straight through to the match racing semis while the lower seeds sail a series of sudden-death races.
