Top international photographer, Gilles Martin-Raget, has been on the Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki Gulf again, shooting the prototype AC45 ahead of her handover to America's Cup Regatta Management next week, and the training by entered teams shortly thereafter.

Crew member, Murray Jones, has a family interest in the 470 fleet at the Sail Auckland regatta, which got underway today - and a swoop past Takapuna Beach is becoming a regular route for the AC45.
