Silver Ferns captain Adine Wilson grabbed the helm of America's Cup yacht NZL41 yesterday to treat her teammates to a trip around Waitemata Harbour.

The team were able to enjoy glorious sunshine in a bonding session as part of a four-day training camp.

It was a bit of respite from fitness testing and a match against the New Zealand netball A team, and the players were also able to take in the semifinals of the Auckland Match Racing Cup.

The harbour will come alive again today for the 167th Auckland Anniversary Regatta - one of the world's biggest one-day regattas.
