SailGP has released its initial findings from its investigation into the high-speed collision between the Black Foils and Team France boats at this month's regatta in Auckland. Two sailors were hospitalised after the French and Kiwi boats collided at speeds approaching 90 kilometres an hour on day one of the SailGP event. Both boats sustained significant damage and are expected to be off the water for some time. Sports Editor Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.
Ce 242e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit Quentin Delapierre, skipper de DS Automobiles SailGP Team France, dix jours après le Grand Prix d'Auckland de SailGP qui a été marqué par une spectaculaire collision entre le F50 néo-zélandais et celui des Français.Notre invité commence justement par revenir sur les circonstances de cet accident, au départ de la troisième manche de la première journée, due au décrochage du bateau néo-zélandais qui s'est subitement mis en travers de la route de son concurrent, Quentin Delapierre n'ayant pu éviter le choc.Qui a occasionné deux blessés - Manon Audinet côté français, Louis Sinclair pour les Kiwis - et des dégâts importants sur les deux F50, absents les 28 février et 1er mars du troisième rendez-vous de la saison 2026, le Grand Prix de Sydney. Pour le pilote français, si SailGP met tout en place pour assurer la meilleure sécurité possible sur le plan d'eau - il souligne d'ailleurs la réactivité des secours après la collision -, le risque d'accident ne peut pas être totalement évacué, surtout à si haute vitesse, charge à chaque skipper de bien en prendre la mesure.Il revient ensuite sur les changements effectués en fin de saison dernière au sein du team tricolore - arrivées de Philippe Presti comme team manager, de Leigh McMillan et Bruno Mourniac dans l'équipage -, et sur le rôle en particulier de Philippe Presti, avec des résultats déjà tangibles - troisième place en janvier à Perth, première place provisoire au moment de l'accident à Auckland.“Fier” du chemin parcouru depuis ses débuts sur le circuit à l'automne 2021, Quentin Delapierre se projette sur la suite de la saison, avec clairement des objectifs de victoire, il conclut cet épisode en évoquant la 38e Coupe de l'America, sur laquelle K-Challenge est engagé.Diffusé le 24 février 2026Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

The Black Foils suffered a nasty end to their home race this weekend. Their F50 Catamaran crashed into the French team, leaving Kiwi grinder Louis Sinclair with two broken legs. Race organisers then shifted to a split-fleet format for the remaining races over safety concerns. AUT Sailing Professor Mark Orams told Mike Hosking that it's time for SailGP to 'crank up' the safety measures. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
SailGP's seen some noticeable growth and CEO Sir Russell Coutts is hoping to boost the sport even further. The event's been drawing in the crowds all through Auckland, and Coutts joined Piney to discuss the kind of reach the sport has.

A statement from his team say the medical team are pleased with the results of the surgery and are positive about his ongoing recovery.

Safety's been called into question after a collision at yesterday's SailGP event in Auckland landed two athletes in hospital. The opening day of racing was called off early - when New Zealand's Black Foils lost control and went spinning into France. Kiwi Louis Sinclair suffered compound fractures in both legs and a French athlete was also injured. Sailing professor Mark Orams, says the crash looked deadly - and almost felt inevitable on the back of the previous two races. "There were so many close misses, there were so many teams that were really struggling to control the boat under really tough conditions on a very compressed course."

What an incredible weekend of sport, with the T20 Cricket World Cup, Super Rugby Pacific, and SailGP sweeping into Auckland – more on that in a minute - some of the world's best trail runners hit Rotorua for the Tarawera Premier Ultra-trail Marathon and the Winter Olympics continues to provide stunning performances, triumphs and disappointments, scandals and feel good moments. I've been interested in the chat around the Winter Olympics over the last week. The Winter Olympic Games is often criticised for being filled with elite, niche sports that struggle to capture broad public appeal. Unlike the Summer edition, which features globally accessible competitions like athletics, swimming and football, the Winter Games is based on disciplines which require specific climates, facilities, and funding. Sports such as biathlon (cross-country skiing and shooting), snowboard cross (kind of BMX racing for snowboarders), and curling are unfamiliar to many viewers outside Europe and North America. They demand snow tracks, ice rinks, and mountain ranges - resources unavailable in much of the world. As a result, participation is concentrated among a relatively small group of nations, reinforcing the perception that these are rarefied pursuits rather than widely played global sports. But for me, this exclusivity underscores why these athletes deserve celebration. Winter Olympians dedicate their lives to mastering extraordinarily demanding disciplines under harsh conditions. They train for years in sub-zero temperatures and in many cases risk injury at high speeds as they refine their skills in sports where success is often decided by fractions of a second or points. The limited global infrastructure for many of these sports makes reaching elite level even more impressive; pathways are narrower, funding scarcer, and margins for error smaller. That they are largely broadcast on pay tv in New Zealand also fuels the idea these sports aren't hugely common. But uncommon or not, if you've been watching over the last week, surely you'll agree the camera work has been spectacular and the events have been incredible to watch. My whole family have become obsessed with ice dancing and figure skating - and there have been some serious controversies and sides taken during the week, even though none of us could get ourselves around an ice rink. And really, isn't all sport at the top-end of competition elite - or as we like to call it ‘high performance sport'? On the global stage, rugby is niche. So is netball. The America's Cup is an elite sport, and the coast to coast this weekend attracts a small number of super athletes who will traverse the South Island. Doesn't make their accomplishments any less impressive. The Olympics exists not merely to platform the most popular sports, but to honour excellence at the highest level. That some of those sports are not broadly accessible does not diminish the skill required to compete. In the last week we've seen human resilience, sportsmanship, courage, and technical mastery - all done in what can be very challenging environments. So niche or not, our Kiwi athletes and their fellow competitors represent the pinnacle of their disciplines - and that alone warrants recognition and celebration.

The Black Foils have managed to put themselves back together for this weekend's Sail GP in Auckland after a crash ended their first regatta of the season. The team's skipper Blair Tuke spoke to Corin Dann.
An investment expert says retiring before the age of 70 is increasingly unaffordable, warning many New Zealanders may need to rethink their retirement expectations; Federated Farmers is concerned the Government's proposed RMA reforms could leave the door open to the introduction of a future water tax; Recent severe weather has exposed vulnerabilities in the country's roading network, prompting calls from the New Zealand Shipping Federation for greater investment in coastal shipping as a more resilient freight alternative; The Government has lifted the annual cap on space launches from 100 to 1,000, with Space Operations New Zealand saying the move will support growth in the sector; The Black Foils have repaired their damaged hull after a high-speed collision in Perth, with skipper Blair Tuke looking ahead to the Auckland round of SailGP.
Auckland is hosting the second round of Sail GP for the season, with 13 teams racing at the Wynyard Point Race Stadium. Organisers have boosted capacity with a grandstand that is 30% larger than last year as demand continues to grow. Sir Russell Coutts told Mike Hosking that, "the growth has been incredible, I think we've expanded our audience way beyond the avid sailing fan."

In this episode of Performance People, we're joined by Emirates GBR champion driver and newly appointed America's Cup GB1 helm, Dylan Fletcher, to explore the defining moment behind one of British sailing's most remarkable career arcs.Dylan reflects on the tough reality of being dropped from the SailGP circuit early in his career, describing the moment the “rug was pulled” and how losing control of his future forced a complete reset. What followed was an uncompromising focus on what he could control, a mindset shift that reshaped his approach to performance and decision-making.The conversation dives deep into pressure, resilience and life inside elite sport. Dylan shares what it's really like to operate under extreme expectation, how he manages nerves, recovery and self-doubt before racing, and why failure, rather than success, has often been his greatest motivation.We also explore the inner workings of sailing's biggest environments, from SailGP to the America's Cup. Dylan opens up on helming alongside Sir Ben Ainslie, adapting to the demands of a 150 person team, and learning how to win both on and off the water.Further into the conversation, Dylan reflects on the Olympic campaign that culminated in gold medal success, and why committing fully to winning gold, rather than simply chasing a medal, changed everything.The episode comes at a landmark moment. Emirates GBR were crowned SailGP champions in 2025, and Dylan has just been appointed helm of GB1, the British challenger for the next America's Cup; placing him at the centre of British sailing's next chapter.________________________________The Performance People podcast, in partnership with J.P.

The SailGP season got underway last week, but the Black Foils didn't start out as well as they'd hoped. A collision with the Swiss boat in the opening race has left them with significant boat damage and in negative points ahead of the Auckland event in under three weeks. Black Foils strategist Liv Mackay says the boat is getting repaired ahead of the event, and the team should be back on the water in time. "It was definitely a pretty shocking situation and definitely something that you don't take lightly - as in, the risk and everything out there. But the season is long, we've definitely been in these similar situations before, so it's not a notch off the goal." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
How do you turn three people and a dog into a 23,000-strong global business? For David Howden, Founder and Group CEO of Howden, the answer begins not in a boardroom but in childhood adversity. David lost his father aged seven and watched his family lose their home overnight - a moment that forged lifelong resilience and a hunger to build something of his own.That experience would power a career in insurance defined by imagination, not paperwork. David explains how he came to see insurance not as a grudge purchase, but as the oil in the engine - or, in his words, the Tesla battery - that enables societies, businesses and individuals to take risks, innovate and grow. Today Howden operates in 56 countries, fuelled by a culture that has employee ownership at the heart of it, puts people first, and which welcomes mistakes as lessons rather than failures.From empowering teams to build their own businesses to shaping grassroots change through ambitious partnerships across rugby, equine sports and Emirates GBR in SailGP. David talks culture, leadership, risk, global growth and why being the underdog matters. This is the story of an entrepreneur building a business to be proud of, and inviting others to build it with him.________________________________The Performance People podcast, in partnership with J.P.

Iain ‘Goobs' Jensen reflects on elite performance, pressure and resilience in SailGP. This episode of Performance People, in partnership with J.P. Morgan Private Bank, was recorded in Abu Dhabi, just ahead of the SailGP Grand Final, at a moment of real intensity, both for the championship and for Goobs personally. From Olympic gold, via a 2025 Emirates GBR treble to a new chapter with Australian Flying Roos, this is a remarkable story of high-performance sailing.A double Olympic gold medallist and one of the most respected figures in high-performance sailing, Goobs reflects on a career that has spanned the Olympic pathway, the America's Cup and SailGP, all during a period of extraordinary technological change in the sport. From foiling breakthroughs to life inside prototype racing machines, he offers rare insight into what it takes to perform when the margins are vanishingly small.The conversation also goes far beyond racing. Iain speaks with honesty about setbacks, pressure and perspective, including the health challenges that interrupted his career and reshaped his outlook on performance, ambition and team culture. Throughout, he returns to the importance of trust, shared purpose and doing the basics well under extreme pressure.The timing of this episode marks a significant transition. After years with Emirates GBR SailGP Team, Goobs discusses his decision to return home to Australia and join the Bonds Flying Roos, ahead of the start of the 2026 SailGP Championship in Perth.This is a thoughtful, deeply human conversation about resilience, elite performance and knowing when it's time for the next chapter.________________________________The Performance People podcast, in partnership with J.P.

A 48 ans, Virginie Bouchet est la responsable marketing et communication de France SailGP, un univers radicalement différent de celui de la course au large, dans lequel elle a baigné pendant quinze ans. "C'est assez fascinant, ça ne se compare pas avec le reste, je me suis plongée dans le marketing et le fait de travailler en anglais constamment est aussi un petit défi", commente-t-elle.Cette ancienne Parisienne, entière et spontanée, commence dans la communication dans les univers du sport et du tourisme, avant de se voir confier le projet Orma Brossard, qui va être synonyme de nouveau départ dans sa vie. Elle débute ainsi dans la voile avec les années Orma, puis s'immerge dans les records, dont le Trophée Jules Verne, en travaillant avec Banque Populaire, partage la vie d'un skipper, avec lequel elle aura deux enfants, épaule Sam Davies sur la préparation de son Vendée Globe en 2012, fait partie de l'organisation de la Route du Rhum...Elle raconte aussi avoir beaucoup appris au contact de Dona Bertarelli ,en sept ans passés au sein de l'écurie Spindrift : "Elle m'a vraiment formée à l'excellence". Une formation qui n'est pas de trop pour répondre aux exigences élevées d'un circuit SailGP qui ne cesse de grandir.Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par SailorzPrésenté par PaprecDiffusé le 10 décembre 2025Post production : Théo LevillainGénérique : All the summer girlsHébergé par Ausha.

Recorded in Abu Dhabi as Emirates GBR were crowned SailGP 2025 Champions, England's fast bowling G.O.A.T. Jimmy Anderson joins Performance People, in partnership with J.P. Morgan Private Bank, for a wide-ranging conversation on cricket, leadership and longevity. Fresh from experiencing an F50 race boat up close, Jimmy reflects on England's two-day defeat in the opening Ashes Test, a result that stunned both players and fans. He explains why the collapse felt so sudden, what positives England can still take from the match and why Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum will stay true to ‘Bazball' ahead of the 2nd test.Jimmy weighs in on the big tactical question: adapt or double down? He believes this England side is more likely to reinforce its attacking principles, but stresses the importance of reading conditions more intelligently rather than playing on autopilot.He offers rare insight into Ben Stokes' captaincy, describing him as the best leader he has played under; tactically sharp, empathetic and able to get the best from every individual, and highlights the powerful partnership Stokes has formed with McCullum.Jimmy's defining career moment takes us back to the 2010–11 Ashes, where England's dominant win in Australia transformed his confidence and consistency. He also discusses the discipline behind his remarkable longevity and why, at 43, he still loves the game as much as ever.________________________________The Performance People podcast, in partnership with J.P.
