So the Black Foils are American now? Great, another kiwi thing sold off for a quick buck. Ffs.

mate, it's just investment. They still race for NZ.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-19T12:40:00.000Z

Hope they don't move the team overseas. Really proud of what they've achieved so far.

Private equity vultures circling SailGP now. Just wait til they strip the assets and leave a hollow shell.

Anyone know if the team stays in NZ or they gonna be based in the US? Big difference for the sport here.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-19T14:57:00.000Z

nah, they said team stays based in Auckland apparently. Read the article.

As long as Burling and Tuke still drive the boat I don't care who signs the cheques tbh.

here man, Burling's a beast. Long as the team's competitive I'm happy.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-19T16:33:00.000Z

aussie here, hope you guys keep the team afloat. would be sad to see it go.
