Having won previously in both Sydney and San Francisco, Australia SailGP Team came into the event with measured confidence, knowing New York City can be extremely difficult due to unstable breeze patterns off the iconic skyline. Over the course of two challenging days, with winds gusting anywhere from 30 kn (55 kph) back down to a sluggish 5 kn (~3 kph) the team lost the battle to not only Japan SailGP Team, but to mother nature's provisions.

A hard race and many tough conditions to overcome. Well done lads, you worked hard and are still just a point off the lead. Can't wait for Cowes!
