Racing was cancelled on the opening day of the ITM

Racing was cancelled on the opening day of the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix | Christchurch, due to “prolonged mammal activity” on the racecourse for the duration of the race window.SailGP Managing Director Andrew Thompson said: “It was a really challenging day today and disappointing for the capacity crowd that turned out.
