Emirates Team New Zealand's AC75 Te Aihe was out again on Wednesday. Here's a selection of images shot from Sail-World's North Head office around 6.15pm, as she raced back in a moderate onshore (NE) seabreeze.

The conditions provided a welcome break from the near constant SW (offshore) winds that have battered Auckland, seemingly since the Beginning of Time.

We also caught our first glimpse of the new media vessel - built by Salthouses from a couple of AC45 hulls the team had in storage - a seriously cool looking boat.
