Exciting day for SailGP boats in the Waitemāta Harbour and Hauraki Gulf

Out on the Waitemāta Harbour and into the Hauraki Gulf, the SailGP boats are getting some practice in - and with the winds today, good fast practice!

Today gave some fast sailing on the water, and some good splash downs as the teams practiced with our much stronger winds than the teams had seen in the recent past.

Chatting to Pete Burling today, he was very pleased to get back on the water, taking some stronger winds and putting some speed on the radar – Auckland is no Dubai!

Enjoy a couple of minutes of on-the-water action right here, right now!
