Round 2: Auckland

After nearly two years of testing, SailGP has introduced its new high-speed titanium T-Foils to the entire F50 fleet at the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix | Auckland. Constructed from machined titanium and carbon, the high-speed T-Foils have thinner sections than the former L-Foils, reducing drag at high speeds.^[16]

France SailGP Team, which had been due to rejoin the fleet, was not on the start line in Auckland due to the discovery of an issue in the titanium wingsail connectors of the team's new F50, that could not be resolved in time for France to compete.^[17]

On the second day of ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix | Auckland, Canadian flight controller Billy Gooderham was injured during a maneuver in pre-racing warm up ahead of official racing. The team was not able to compete in remaining races.^[18]
