    French SailGP skipper Quentin Delapierre is grateful the frightening high speed collision with New Zealand wasn't much worse


    Black Foils grinder Louis Sinclair has suffered compound fractures to both legs on Day 1 in Auckland, while French strategist Manon Audient is being evaluated for abdominal pain.

    Delapierre says the crash is a blur.



    Officials are looking to resume racing at 11.30 this morning.
