Australia win at SailGP New York
It was a weekend of chaos for the SailGP league as teams competed May 30-31 in New York, USA. After excessive winds prevented racing on day one, the fleet had three fleet races to advance the top three teams for the winner-take-all Final.
Despite meager previous results in New York, Tom Slingsby’s BONDS Flying Roos (AUS) won their third consecutive event, holding off Emirates GBR on the Hudson River.
The Australians, who arrived in the United States as the form team in 2026, were forced to fight from behind on a brutally difficult final day, with patchy breeze and constant shifts turning the racecourse into a moving puzzle.
Slingsby admitted the team had been “on the back foot all day” before producing a decisive final-race performance when it mattered most. - Full report and video
