A flotilla of boats showed their loyalty to Team New Zealand with a sail past from the Auckland Harbour Bridge to Devonport this afternoon, on the eve of the team's first America's Cup race against Swiss challenger Alinghi.

Among those showing support for the team was Prime Minister Helen Clark, aboard one of the boats.

Team New Zealand will defend the world's oldest sporting trophy in a best-of-nine series starting at 1.15pm tomorrow.
