Richard Gladwell: Sail World Editor on Wynyard Quarter hosting the Auckland leg of the SailGP - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Auckland's leg of SailGP will bring the boats to the spectators.  

The event will hold its first ever leg in Auckland in January.  

Auckland was supposed to hold an event last year, but that was cancelled after land use issues with Wynyard Quarter.  

Sail World Editor Richard Gladwell says Wynyard Point will probably be the main spectator base with necessary infrastructure already in place.  

He told Ryan Bridge the boats may even come a little too close.
