At least 50 keen sailors are expected to watch tomorrow's America's Cup racing at Blair Tuke's old sailing club - but, without Sky, they'll have to hide smartphones and radios until the delayed footage is broadcast on Prime.
Kerikeri Cruising Club commodore Doug France said his nerves wouldn't let him wait so he'd have to check the result of the 5am race before heading to the clubrooms, but he promised not to tell anyone.
"It would be a hell of a big ask [to not look up the results], I'm just too nervous. But I'm not as nervous as I was before this morning's races."
Team NZ needs just one more win to take out the Cup.
The doors would open at the club at 6am with the delayed coverage due to kick off at 6.30am. A sponsor was covering the cost of breakfast for the first 25 members through the door, though everyone was welcome to come along and watch or order brekkie.
