Re: America’s Cup - ETNZ launches 1st AC75 (new)

I was watching Prada out practicing yesterday in a good breeze. Damn I love watching these boats do their thing. Roll on Saturday.

The racing is scheduled to start at 16:12 Saturday, New Zealand Time, which for me is 21:12 Friday.

Check the Prada Cup web site for all the schedules: https://www.americascup.com/
