Australian driver Tom Slingsby expects the SailGP's fleet will finally be able to reach speeds above 100km/h during racing thanks to a technical change made to the boats ahead of the Auckland regatta.
After nearly two years of testing, the globetrotting sailing league has fitted its 12 50-foot catamarans with new foils - the boards on the boats' hulls that allow them to lift out of the water in windy conditions.
