Sail GP went to the city that never sleeps earlier this month, with the New York skyline as the backdrop for its June 7 and 8 races. Diego Botin’s Spain took the win, defeating New Zealand and France in a winner-take-all shootout.
This mark’s Spain second straight win, with the other coming in San Francisco, and France’s second consecutive time in coming in third. The win means the Spaniards are at the top for the 2025 seasons so far. BONDS Flying Roos are currently second on the leaderboard and New Zealand is third.
The Red Bull Italy and the United States didn’t have their best showing, with zero points and coming in 11th and 12th place, respectively.
Wins and rough waters made for an interesting race that required serious handling skills.
