Finally it was time to see the AC45's line up today for the first day of racing for the 35th America's Cup at the AC World Series in Portsmouth.
Land Rover Ben Ainslie Racing won the first race on home turf and were second in race two sitting them in the lead after day one. Emirates Team New Zealand won the second race, and with a third in race one they are in second place ahead of defenders Oracle Team USA.
This video kicks off on the water just before racing, with glimpses from my visit to the technical team bases this morning.
Then it is straight into the media scrum post-racing for interviews with all the team: Dean Barker - SoftBank Team Japan, Frank Cammas - Groupama Team France, Nathan Outteridge - Artemis Racing, Sir Ben Ainslie - Land Rover BAR, Pete Burling - ETNZ, and Jimmy Spithill - Oracle Team USA.
