'Four America's Cuppers and support craft after sailing - Viaduct Harbour - 19 January 2009' Richard Gladwell

Sail-World's camera was at the Viaduct Harbour, today. Some of the America's Cuppers being used for the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series were out sailing, others were on the hard being prepared for training which starts on 24 January.

Today Emirates Team New Zealand and BMW Oracle racing were out getting some practice in winds gusting at up to 36kts but averaging around 20-25kts.
