"Watch the race and cheer loudly."
That's the plan for the afternoon at Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club.
The club is expecting more than 100 people through its doors this afternoon and evening to watch what could be the final day of the 2021 America's Cup.
Club manager Lynne Whitaker said the club had been screening the races daily and there had been crowds of various sizes each day.
Emirates Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling is still associated with the club and Whitaker said that made the event all the more special.
"I think there's a lot of ownership. People feel very invested in it because of that relationship ... His father and mother are still involved and help out.
"We're quietly confident but nervous as well."
The club will be open from 3.30pm and Whitaker said they were expecting more than the 100 people who attended yesterday.
The weekly club sailing night is also tonight.
"If we go to a second race people might stay and watch rather than going sailing. If we win some will be very excited about going out."
Ahead of this afternoon's races Emirates Team New Zealand lead Luna Rossa 6-3 in the first-to-seven-win series in Auckland.
For the third race in a row, Team New Zealand came from behind to beat Luna Rossa yesterday.
Whitaker said the club members were always hopeful about the results.
"Everyone knows it's not over till it's over.
"Even when we went down off the foils there was always that feeling you can come back.
"If it happens to one team it can happen to the other and it did."
Burling previously told NZME he was philosophical the match would go on for at least another day.
"This team's been in this position before. We just want to keep improving, keep moving forward and we're really excited about another race," Burling said. "We know that one was a pretty close one, so we're going to have to sail just as well in the next one."
Burling is a former old boy of Tauranga Boys' College, and was sports captain at the college when Robert Mangan took over as principal in 2008.
Mangan said while the school hadn't been marking the racing in any way, they had brought Burling's achievements to the attention of the students and would celebrate the win if New Zealand took it out.
"We're very proud to have Peter Burling as an old boy and helmsman of Team New Zealand."
In Mangan's first year at the school, Kane Williamson was also head boy and Mangan said the school also celebrated his successes.
"We didn't see a lot of them that year. Kane was captaining our under-19 team and Peter was representing New Zealand in sailing in Seoul.
"I've got a special connection with Peter. He's been back a number of times ... He's a keen supporter of the school."
Racing is scheduled to get under way at 4.15pm today.
Today's conditions are expected to be ideal for racing, with American Magic skipper Dean Barker saying there could be "some epic sailing" today.
