    A promising start for the Black Foils on the opening day of SailGP racing in France

    A promising start for the Black Foils on the opening day of SailGP racing in France


    New Zealand ended the day in second place on the leaderboard after four fleet races - finishing fifth, first, third and fifth.

    Driver Peter Burling's pleased with how the Black Foils got off the start line, but admits they may have left some points out on the water.



    New Zealand are one point behind opening day leaders Great Britain.
