1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Right, let's turn our attention into sale GP because it's

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: coming to Auckland. The schedule for racing next year has

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: been announced. The season will start and do Bay before

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: heading to Auckland. It follows the news at the league

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: withdrew from a hosting agreement that would have seen it

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: take place in christ Church again. Richard Gladwell is the

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Sale World New Zealand editor and he's with me now. Richard,

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: good morning to you, tell you good, thank you, great

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: news for Aucklanders. Anything to do with the dolphins.

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: Oh well, thanks everything to do with the dolphins, and

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: you know Russell Coosters wasn't prepared to go down there

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: again after the last time. I think they just can't

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: losing in a whole day because someone sees the dolphins

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: swing around the course. So yeah, it's all to do

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: with that. But I think also there was also an

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: agreement in there in place that Auckland would have two

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: sale GP events in four years and christ Church would

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: have had two. So christ Church have had the two,

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: So hope for the orkand are about to get there too, right.

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Do you think the council is paying anything for this?

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: Is there any backhanders that go on with CELGP.

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, there's I mean NBA are upfront about it.

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: You go onto their website, they've listed down for a

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: gatson they say the five point four million dollar events.

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: So I assume that the Auckland Council isn't paying anything. However,

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: they will be paying, you know, in kind from a

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: lot of things. And they after that announcement, they've come

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: out and said that they're looking at when You're Point,

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: which is the venue that caused all the cafuffle last time.

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: So hopefully everyone's got their ducks in a row of that.

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: That's right. So where will we watch it from? Can

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: we watch it because that was the problem last time.

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's plenty of I mean I haven't been

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: a Winyard Point lately, but when I was last year,

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: they still had it, you know, getting those gases out

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: of the ground and really those from the sled fuel

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: tanks and substance tanks. So people will be down there

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: on Winyard Point. There's plenty of advantage places around west

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: Haven and that sort of thing. You can also probably

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: watch it a bit of it from the shore from

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: North Cape Point. Yes that's surrounded. But the other thing

42
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: to remember too, is sort of mean. There's a lot

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: of facilities down there that were done for America's Cups

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: that are you know, they're open and used, but they're

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: they certainly don't get heavy use. So I think it'll

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: be a great vantage point down there.

47
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: So you're confident that that we've got enough infrastructure there

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: already to actually host this event and to host it

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: on time, because I mean it's coming. It's around the corner,

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: isn't it.

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, all they've got all the saying all accounts

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: will have to do is they've just got to essentially

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: put that winyard point down and tarmac in the same

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: way that they've done it around you know, Team New

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Zealand and further back towards the city. So once they've

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: got that area, they're a hard stand team just comes

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: in and puts all their support basis and that sort

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: of thing. And they're a big feature of sal GP

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: as what they call the Adrenaline Lounge. So that's a

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: real VIP hospitality area and that goes right hard on

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: the water's edge. Then they have the boats finishing you know,

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: off that, so they're so close that you can know

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: virtually touch them. In fact, on the last two or

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: three Salgpens events. Having that finish line so close to

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: a seawall has caused a few kurefuffles. To say the least, it.

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Sounds like the place I'm going to be down at

67
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: the Adrenaline Lounge. Thank you very much for the time

68
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,320
