    New Zealand team wing trimmer Blair Tuke feels the introduction of a new design element will make for competitive and unpredictable racing at this weekend's Sail GP round in Auckland


    Event two of the 2025 season sees all boats running the new "T Foils" for the first time.

    Tuke says - with every crew only getting this week to get familiar with the new tech - he expects it to be tight across the fleet.
