SailGP racing on Auckland's waterfront will likely be faster than ever.
The event's expected to draw more than 25 thousand to Waitemat膩 Harbour across the weekend.
An 8,000 seat grandstand has been purpose-built for the event, and a large screen will be up at the Viaduct for those without a ticket.
Global Communications Director Nat Fortier says they're debuting new high-speed foils.
She says the last speed record was just under 100 kilometres an hour and they're seeing the boats hit over that.
D'Arcy catches up with Nat at the media centre on Auckland's waterfront.
