Race day in Auckland and New Zealand's Sail GP helmsman Peter Burling has declared his team ready to go. 

It's the first event to be held in Auckland and second of the current season, after victory in Dubai. 

Burling told Jason Pine that the stage is set. 

“There’s big change ups this week with the T4s coming in being a bit more up, the wind range should be a really good equaliser.” 

“We're under no illusions we're going to have to perform right at the top of our game if we want to win this weekend.” 

Racing starts at 4pm, with three set down for today before finals day tomorrow.
