Today's sailing will start with Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa level at 2-2.
The sailing will be held on Course A this afternoon, set for a 4:15pm start - but with Auckland back at Covid-19 alert level 1 the spectator fleet could once again pose a problem for race organisers as the course choice limiting the capacity for boaties to get a good view.
Friday's opening race was twice affected by private boats encroaching onto the race course, the second of those causing the first attempted pre-race duel to be abandoned.
According to Regatta Director Iain Murray, today's racing will require extra work from off-shore race management as one whole side of the chosen course will be off-limits due to its proximity to undersea communications cables.
