From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 29 January 2021

American Magic are back on the water after their spectacular capsize and are ready to race the consistent Luna Rossa in the America's Cup Challenger Selection Series semi-finals.

The winner of the best-of-seven semis stays in Auckland to take on Team UK in the challenger series finals, while the loser heads home after a failed multi-million dollar campaign.

The regatta director, Iain Murray, spoke with RNZ's Felicity Reid about what to expect when racing starts this afternoon on the Waitemata Harbour.
