No Mac for this one ❌
Remember, grinder Mac Agnese misses this one but it’s for a happy reason – his wife, Graceann, gave birth to their beautiful daughter Marbella earlier this week.
A new member of the Crew, we couldn’t be happier for both of them. We’ll miss Mac but we’re sending all our love to all three as they start their new adventure together.

Welcome! 👋
Welcome to our ITM Auckland Sail Gran Prix Live Blog.
Depending on where you’re joining us from, it’s already the weekend – or perhaps it’s still Friday night and you’re looking forward to getting your weekend start with some high-speed foiling.
We should be guaranteed speed in Auckland this weekend with conditions windy. Official Practice Racing on Friday did not take place as a result, while Sunday’s racing has been brought forward for safety reasons.
For the first time this season, we’ll have all 13 F50s on the start line in just over an hour’s time. It’s going to be fast and frenetic!

Auckland’s fast and furious conditions make for challenging sailing at the New Zealand Sail Grand Prix — one of 2026’s most testing courses.
But the city’s attractions away from the race are far more relaxing in nature, with countless beaches and islands for visitors to enjoy.
Nature lovers will appreciate a volcano hike on Rangitoto Island, while Auckland’s fantastic night markets may be more appealing to fans of first-class street food.
And if you can’t get enough of the water, why not take a ferry to Devonport and admire the eclectic mix of boats around the harbor.
