American Magic are back on the water, Patriot's heartfelt tribute and Auckland boaties' close encounter with Team New Zealand.
Here's all you need to know from today's Cup news.
American Magic mainsail trimmer Paul Goodison has revealed the key to beating Luna Rossa ahead of their Prada Cup semifinal clash this weekend.
Goodison said the team hopes to "carry on where we left off" as the team prepares to sail once again after repairing their boat.
American Magic's Patriot is ready to hit the water, but not without a heartfelt tribute to the teams which helped make their return possible.
The boat has been repaired after sustaining major damage in a dramatic capsize during the first weekend of Prada Cup racing.
First-look photos obtained by the Herald show a tribute on the repaired boat to the teams that helped save it from sinking.
World champions sailor Phil Robertson believes American Magic's dramatic capsize could be just the break they needed to get their America's Cup campaign back on track.
In his column for the Herald, Robertson writes that while the syndicate's 10-day turnaround would've been tough and there's no telling the extent of improvements they were able to make to their patched-up boat, there's nothing like a bit of adversity to push a team to another level.
Boaties got an up-close and personal visit from Team New Zealand's Te Rehutai on the water this week.
In a Youtube video reposted by 'Live Sail Die,' Team New Zealand are filmed practising on the Waitematā Harbour before making a beeline towards the boat.
Tensions onboard rose as the 75-foot foiling monohull sped closer before closely passing the back of the onlookers' boat.
On the latest episode of Beyond the Cup, Matt Brown and Mark Orams are joined by Ineos Team UK sail trimmer Joey Newton and Luna Rossa grinder Shannon Falcone to discuss American Magic's quest to make the Prada Cup semifinal start line.
