The SailGP race venue on Lyttelton Harbour near Christchurch on the South Island is home to around 1,000 Hector’s dolphins.

The presence of an endangered species of dolphins on the race course has prevented sailing on the first day of the New Zealand leg of an international competition.

Observers have been assigned to spot dolphins and warn organisers if they stray too close to the race area. Three fleet races were scheduled Saturday and two more are scheduled on Sunday before the top three teams compete in the final to decide the event champion. He was referring to conservationists who have condemned the decision to allow the event to take place in the dolphin’s habitat.
