Sail GP boat christened

New Zealand’s Sailgp campaign took a major step forward yesterday with the late christening of their boat in Bermuda ahead of the weekend’s season-opening regatta. The sleek black 50-foot foiling catamaranwas put in thewater but didn’t go sailing as it went through a systems check at the dock. ‘‘It was a pretty cool moment for the team,’’ helmsman and co-chief executive Peter Burling told Stuff after a long day. ‘‘It was a case of getting the gremlins ironed out and making sure all the systemswere talking to each other. We look forward nowto sailing it.’’
