A fleet of 13 F50 foiling catamarans will tear around the Waitematā Harbour this weekend in SailGP’s return to New Zealand.  Last year was the first time Auckland hosted SailGP - drawing more than 25,000 spectators.  The City of Sails is the second stop of 13 across the globe for the 2026 season.  Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald sports reporter Christopher Reive is with us to unpack Burling and Tuke’s home water reset, American Magic’s blockbuster Danish buyout, and the must-watch foiling feats this weekend.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
