The Team New Zealand shore crew has been working around the clock to try to get its America's Cup boat back out on the water.

Its hull was punctured after being rear-ended by Ben Ainslie Racing in a pre-start collision during practice racing in Bermuda.

After working through the day and night, it's understood Team New Zealand is now in the process of putting the boat back together.

It's hoped it will be ready for the final day of practice racing on Saturday.

Team New Zealand hasn't missed anything today, with the third day of practice racing cancelled due to a lack of wind on the Great Sound.

Team boss Grant Dalton joined Mike Hosking to discuss the collision, and his prediction for the regatta ahead.
