After 11 events spread across Asia, Australasia, Europe, and the United States, only four teams are in the running for the three-way, winner-takes-all, $2 million Grand Final race.

Dylan Fletcher’s Emirates Team Great Britain squad top the leaderboard on 85 points, with Peter Burling’s Kiwi Black Foils in second on 82 points, and Tom Slingsby’s Australian BONDS Flying Roos in third on 80 points. Meanwhile, last season’s overall winners – Diego Botin’s Spanish Los Gallos crew – sit in fourth on 76 points and are well within striking distance of stealing a spot in the Grand Final.
