New York did not deliver the weekend that SailGP was hoping for. No practice racing on Friday due to the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship blocking the craning-in area, only three boats racing on Saturday due to high winds preventing the rest of the fleet being launched, and another major crash on the final fleet race on Sunday that put the on-form American team out of the event final.
Magnus and I pore over the events of the weekend – including a much improved performance from Giles Scott's Canadian NorthStar crew, disappointment for Diego Botín's Spanish Los Gallos who were sidelined on Sunday due to technical issues – and break down the action from what turned out to be a great event final where Tom Slingsby's BONDS Flying Roos out smarted Dylan Fletcher's Emirates Team GBR to take their third consecutive regatta win.
