There’s multiple debuts happening at this weekend’s SailGP regatta.  

Not only is it Auckland’s hosting debut, but it’s also the first time the new high-speed titanium T-Foils will be seen in action, having been trialled for the last two years.  

Nat Fortier, SailGP’s Global Director of Communications, told Tim Beveridge that the last speed record was under 100kph an hour, but now they’re seeing the boats hit just over 100kph. 

She says they’re all hoping they’ll see that kind of speed out on the water this weekend.
