    The Black Foils believe there to be a high likelihood of Sail GP returning to Auckland beyond this year

    The Black Foils believe there to be a high likelihood of Sail GP returning to Auckland beyond this year


    Racing on the Waitemata Harbour is set to get underway from 4 this afternoon, but the regatta is the last as part of a five-year deal.

    Black Foils CEO and wing trimmer Blair Tuke says the team is doing their best to advocate for the return of SailGP for the good of local sailing.
