Tom Slingsby pulls off another stunning comeback for the Bonds Flying Roos on Day 2 of the Mubadala SailGP in New York. This thrilling day saw a major collision involving three boats, but thankfully, no injuries were reported.
The race format took an unprecedented turn as organizers declared that no points would be awarded for Saturday’s races due to only two boats, Spain and Great Britain, competing fully. Spain claims they will protest the decision after facing hydraulic issues that sidelined them for the day. Meanwhile, the USA SailGP team shined with a win and a second place, putting them in a strong position despite a later collision.
Canada, struggling throughout Season 6, finally broke through by reaching their first Final of the season, thanks to a victory in the last race. Slingsby’s team faced adversity after a disappointing ninth place finish in the first race, but they rebounded to battle for the lead in the second race, ultimately finishing second. The Bonds Flying Roos now sit just two points shy of third overall, a remarkable turnaround heading into the final race. The stage is set for an electrifying conclusion as the qualifiers wrap up.
