American Magic and their repaired yacht Patriot return to racing this afternoon, when they take on Luna Rossa in the first of the America's Cup challenger series semi-finals in Auckland.
It's 12 days since the US team capsized during racing, leaving a huge hole in their hull.
The winner of the semis will stay in Auckland to take on Team UK in the challenger series finals next month, while the loser heads home after a failed multi-million dollar campaign.
RNZ's sports reporter, Felicity Reid, spoke to Māni Dunlop from Auckland's viaduct harbour.
