Some high-octane racing is expected on Auckland’s waters today, as the Sail GP kicks off in Waitemata Harbour.  

Australia’s flight controller Jason Waterhouse has been involved with Sail GP right from the start, and he told Jason Pine that the league’s growth has been “incredible”. 

“But this has been a big change this week, with the new foils coming online,” Waterhouse said. 

“It’s just really exciting – it's something a bit different, I think, for the athletes and for the spectators to enjoy.”
