So Much More Than Thrills On The Water
Ōtautahi, Christchurch was the host city for the inaugural ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix on Whakaraupō, Lyttelton Harbour 18 - 19 March 2023. The spectacular close-to-shore racing was witnessed by 15,000 people at Naval Point and another 4500 at the central city live site.
Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke Rāpaki hold guardianship over the harbour and worked closely with SailGP and ChristchurchNZ to bring the event to life. The sold-out event left a legacy of benefits for Christchurch, from inspirational programmes for youth to improved infrastructure, strengthened cultural partnerships and new initiatives in conservation and sustainably-focused business. Thanks to all the community partners and stakeholders who made this event such a success and we look forward to bringing you the event again in 2025.
