The Black Foils in SailGP
Watching the home team race on Waitematā Harbour is a standout part of the weekend. The Black Foils represent New Zealand with world-class talent and competitive spirit on the water.
Racing in their own backyard draws an electric energy that's impossible to replicate.

The 2026 event is set to be even bigger, with the grandstand expanding by 30%.
