In 12 months time the Prada Cup, a best of 13 race series may well have been decided.

With no teams sailing in Auckland, besides the Defender, here's a look at what the breeze could be for Day 5 of the Final of the Prada Cup Final on February 20, 2021.

Yesterday, around 4.00pm the wind was from the SSW blowing 12-15kts. These images were taken on Course C, between North Head and Bean Rock - the Priority 1 course for a SW and NE breeze.
