Eight America's Cup fanzones have been approved around the Far North, and the projector at one of them, Kerikeri's Turner Centre, was tested on Friday to make sure there wouldn't be any glitches.
Turner Centre marketing and sales co-ordinator Iris Klapwijk said there would be no better place to catch
all the action.
"We will be broadcasting the races live on our massive screen in the auditorium, and with 400 comfortable seats, high definition movie screen, theatre sound system and great parking, you won't have to miss a minute of this exciting event."
Admission would be free, and drinks and snacks would be available from the adjoining New World Theatre Bar, which would open before and after every race. Funds raised at the bar would help support community groups.
The Turner Centre would be open from 2pm every day of the Prada Cup round robin and semi-finals, with the racing time 'window' of 3pm-5pm, and at 3pm for the finals, with racing expected between 4pm and 6pm.
