Live coverage of Day 3 of the Auckland America’s Cup World Series and Christmas Race event on Saturday 19 December 2020.
This is the final day of the ACWS part of the event and there will be a prizegiving one hour after racing. The teams will then race on Sunday in the knock-out Christmas Cup event.
The first race scheduled for Saturiday is at 15:12 NZDT (02:12) GMT . . . Race Cource C will be used for racing Saturday and the weather forecast is for Northerly breezes of 9 to 13 Knots. Will we see a code zero used for the first time in AC75 competition?
Not so good for the Brits going by earlier light weather performance.
The sticky Foil Cant System effected American Magic on Friday, with a near capsize, so who will get the short straw today?
