Auckland Council has confirmed the venue for next year's SailGP.\xa0 \xa0
It's hosting the start of the Australasian leg in January after Christchurch proved too problematic and it was moved. \xa0
Auckland Unlimited Chief Executive Nick Hill says the international event will be based just off Wynyard Point. \xa0
He told Andrew Dickens it will be under the Harbour Bridge with a grandstand close to the water.\xa0
Hill says all previous legal and environmental issues in the area have been dealt with, to have the event how SailGP's always wanted it.\xa0
