Re: Sail GP in Lyttelton Harbour, Christchurch, NZ
So talk us through the consequences here. The dolphins make a whole lot of kiwis a living - last I heard around $15m annually. Coutts makes a whole lot of money from some racing that probably brings $1m to the local economy. And how is having this particular race in Lyttelton Harbour going to effec...

Re: Sail GP in Lyttelton Harbour, Christchurch, NZ
So Christchurch loses a marquee event due to the fun policewoman who features at about the two minute mark. Fitting that it goes to Christchurch's historic rival, the City of Sails, Auckland next year.

Good to get some racing today after yesterday's racing was cancelled due to "dolphins" on the race course. :roll: Sir Russell Coutts has slammed officials for their "extreme" dolphin policy that halted racing on the first day of the SailGP event.

Two lovely breaks by Perofeta but both times he threw a silly pass that was intercepted by a Crusaders defender. Also that great break by Clarke should have lead to a try. We certainly lack creativity when hammering away at the line. The second one was a knock on by the Crusaders player. Poor cool ...
