Race three of the America's Cup is expected to get underway on time despite a delay caused by a private boat refusing to move from the course.
Water management have told Newstalk ZB "a private vessel on the race course is refusing to move".
The pre-race drama comes as Luna Rossa appeared to be struggling with the low winds on the Hauraki Gulf this afternoon, with the team's AC75 struggling to get foiling.
While Team New Zealand were able to get flying, the Italians have been working on resolving exactly what their issue is, with racing scheduled to begin at 4:15pm this afternoon.
Speaking on the TVNZ broadcast, American Magic helmsman Dean Barker said it was clearly more than a small problem they were dealing with.
