Team USA is ready to take on the waters at Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour.

The first Sail GP races get under way today, with 11 teams competing for the win. 

Taylor Canfield joined Team USA halfway through the Season 4 of the Sail GP, and in his word’s, it’s been full on.

“There’s no words to really explain it,” he told Jason Pine.

“To hop into a new class and competiting against the best boats in the, you know, the best sailors in the world, and the fastest boats in the world... yeah it’s full on.”

“The progress we’ve made as a team is awesome so far, but you know, I know there’s a lot more to come as well.”
