Sail-World was on the water for the first day of practice for the America's Cup World Series and Xmas Cup, staged on the Hauraki Gulf in a breeze that topped the 21kt average wind limit for the series, but moderated as the day went on.

Here's an image gallery of the Italian Challenger, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli who trained at the end of the session against Emirates Team New Zealand doing several starts.
