The highlight of the weekend was the return of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli to the Waitemata.

The Italian challenger stepped her mast mid-afternoon and docked out around 4.30pm.

This was the Italians second sail in Auckland, having spent over a week in one of the team hangars in Auckland's Viaduct Harbour.

From the video Luna Rossa seemed to be sailing well in the westerly breeze of 12-14kts.

INEOS Team UK went sailing earlier - leaving around 1100, and returning late.
