Just to update teams with some info about logistics for the time of the regatta – if the America’s Cup racing choose to race on one of the inner courses, then some roads around Orakei and Devonport will have some restrictions on.

The main way this could affect our regatta is that between 13:00 and 20:00, Tamaki Drive (eastbound) will be closed, the road will be running as a one-way road going westbound. This means to access RAYC and ASC you will need to do a loop around to Mission Bay and approach from the east. Access to RAYC and ASC and parking onsite at the clubs should not be affected.

Full details can be found in this detailed LiveSailDie article – found here: https://www.livesaildie.com/americas-cup-world-series-and-christmas-cup-auckland-road-closures-and-public-transport-changes/

Looking forward to the regatta kicking off tomorrow. Remember briefing is at 9:30 and a reminder to bring shoes if you have them to sail in as the launching ramp can be slippery and sharp!
