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.

"We're getting the racing fans, we're getting the general sports fans and we're also getting, I think, the lifestyle sector that's coming along to our events just to have fun."
