Commentary there of New Zealand's crew winning the Sail GP regatta yesterday after the first day of racing was abandoned on Saturday when a dolphin was sighted on the course.
And a Lyttelton councillor says it would be a pity if the race did not return to Christchurch next year - given the benefits to businesses and the community.
Sir Russel Coutts suggested Sail GP would not return to the city, as he called the dolphin policy "extreme" and said minority interests were holding up the event.
Coutts did not respond to Morning Report's invitation to come on the show and Sail GP managing director Andrew Thompson declined.
Banks Peninsula councillor Tyrone Fields spoke to Corin Dann.
