SailGP 2026: New Zealand Defends Title in Auckland

By Splittly Team5 min read

The Waitematā Harbour is set to ignite. The SailGP 2026 Grand Final is taking place in Auckland this weekend, with the New Zealand "Black Foils" team looking to secure back-to-back championships on home waters.

High-Tech Racing

SailGP features high-performance F50 catamarans that "fly" above the water at speeds exceeding 100 km/h. The technology is cutting-edge, and the racing is close, chaotic, and incredibly exciting for spectators lining the waterfront.

The Kiwi Advantage

Led by Peter Burling, the NZ team has dominated the season. However, fierce competition from Australia and Great Britain means the title is far from guaranteed. The local crowd support could be the deciding factor.
