Ineos Team UK's Ben Ainslie has a heartfelt message for his home country ravaged by Covid-19, as American Magic add the finishing touches to their boat ahead of a return to sailing.
Here's all you need to know from today's Cup news.
Americans' moment of truth
American Magic are confidentthey will be competitive in the Prada Cup semifinal, despite the havoc wreaked by their capsize 10 days ago.
Their campaign looked in tatters on that Sunday evening, as Patriot came close to sinking during a three-hour salvage operation, before being towed back to base with a sizeable hole in its bow.

In a piece for the Telegraph, Ainslie says there is "no room for complacency" as they prepare for the Prada Cup final and, possibly, the America's Cup match against Team New Zealand.
Meet the Kings of the Cup
They will live on in America's Cup folklore for different reasons - from their ingenuity in dragging the regatta into the 21st century and beyond, to the infamy of perceived "betrayal".
For American Magic skipper Terry Hutchinson, the choice for the most high-profile position in the syndicate was a no brainer.
"We needed a helmsman that was exceptionally knowledgeable of the America's Cup, had the foiling experience and had the understanding of what the event was."
