New ZealandBlack Foils, New Zealand SailGP Team
Led by legendary sailing duo Peter Burling and Blair Tuke, New Zealand entered SailGP in Season 2. Since then, the team has grown into one of the most formidable in the league, often jostling with Australia at the top of the Championship leaderboard. Racing under its bold new identity, Black Foils, the Kiwis proudly represent Aotearoa New Zealand, while competing on the international sporting stage. Alongside its on-water performance, the Black Foils are driven by the mission to race for a healthy ocean and uses the platform of SailGP to communicate the importance of ocean restoration with its partner Live Ocean Foundation, the marine conservation charity founded by Burling and Tuke.
