SailGP organisers have decided to split the fleet for day two of racing off Wynyard Point, after the huge high-speed crash between New Zealand and France on Saturday.

One sailor from each team was taken to hospital, with Kiwi grinder Louis Sinclair reported in stable condition with compound fractures to both legs.

Neither team will front for competition on Sunday, when stronger conditions are expected on the water.

Racing starts at 11.30am.
