When racing resumed the Black Foils made the strongest getaway, but Tom Slingsby’s crew quickly reeled them in before the first mark. From there, the Australians controlled proceedings to secure their first race win of the day. Spain’s Los Gallos capitalized on the abandoned opening race to claim second place, while the returning Black Foils completed the podium in third.
Group B’s opening contest produced one of the standout performances of the day. The United States team nailed the start, with Emirates GBR tucked in behind, but it was the Explora Swiss SailGP Team that stole the show.
After finding their groove midway through the race, the Swiss rose onto their foils and surged through the fleet, overtaking every boat ahead of them to secure their first race victory of the 2026 Season. Artemis SailGP Team finished second, with Germany by Deutche Bank third, while the early leaders faded to fifth and sixth.
