The F50 Victoria, already thinks of the next date, at the Rockwall Denmark Sail Grand Prix, to be held in Danish waters, in Aahrus on 20 and 21 August

Australia has proclaimed itself the champion of the Grand Prix of Great Britain, after overcoming France and the United States in the great final, and in turn, renews Spain in the lead of the SailGP circuit. The F50 Victoria has finished eighth in Plymouth and now occupies the sixth overall position three points from the new leader, tied with the US. United States and Japan.

The second day of the Great Britain Prize, in Plymouth, was still dawn with the echoes of the disqualification of the F50 Victoria in the previous day. The first black flag in SailGP's history had been for the Spanish ship on a risky exit, a decision that is understood to be unmeasured from within the team, and both Phil Robertson and Xabi Fernández showed their disagreement.

Although direct rivals such as Jimmy Spihill (USA), Nathan Outteridge (JPN) and Tom Slingsby (AUS) defended the decision of the judges, the most laureate Olympic regatist in history and reed by the British team, Ben Ainslie (GBR), stood next to the Spanish team.

The first test of the day, the fourth of the global, was very important for the F50 Victoria who had to play it all for the whole after the disqualification of the previous day. The Spanish ship made a good exit, third, behind Japan and New Zealand.

Nathan Outteridge's were soon outstanding and as the test went on they were increasing their advantage over the rest of the fleet, New Zealanders were also confirmed in second position and the third seemed to be played by Britain and Spain.

Both were exchanging this position until the United States appeared, which would end up hanging between the two, moving the Spaniards to the fifth square, since they would finally occupy and leave them, unfortunately, out of any option of disputing the final.

The following test would serve to define which three ships would go into the big final. The F50 Victoria, however, wanted to say goodbye to the Great Britain Prize with a good taste of mouth. Although he left in fifth position, he was placed third behind Britain and France, who were the dominators of the test.

Spain, for its part, that was flirting between the third and fourth square, saw Australia outperformed it in the final section and would end up crossing the line of arrival in fifth position. The United States, France and Australia were the ones for the big final.

2021 / 07 / 16: The Games force the F50 of Spain to make changes to the Plymouth SailGP

The F50 Victoria is demonstrating its potential in the SailGP circuit, holding the first place for the moment, with a point of advantage over Britain and two above Japan

The third event of the SailGP season, the Great Britain Sail Grand Prix, will be held this weekend in Plymouth waters, where the Spanish team F50 Victoria, patronized by Phil Robertson, defends the lead of the competition after having held the first two tests in Bermuda waters... in Hamilton and Taranto's Italian.

The progression of F50 has been meteorical since its debut in February 2020 in Sydney. In the 2021 season of SailGP he has been fighting for the front posts always, after finishing fourth in Bermuda, staying at the gates of qualifying for the great final to three. In Taranto he was first among the top three and played the podium with Japan and the United States, finally finishing seconds and fighting until the last stretch with Nathan Outteridge.

At the Plymouth Grand Prix, the British home-playing team, part a priori as a great favorite. It is not in vain that it occupies the second place in the general place to a point in Spain and is the one who knows these waters best. As it did not happen in Taranto, it will not count for the occasion with its headline patron, Sir Ben Ainslie, absent for his recent fatherhood, with which another Olympic champion, Paul Goodison, will repeat to the wheel of the local ship.

For this event, the Spanish team has been forced to make several changes to its crew due to the proximity of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, in which five members of the team will participate: Jordi Xammar, Florian Trittel, Diego Botin, Joan Cardona and Tara Pacheco. This is why the double Olympic medalist Xabi Fernández, team coach, will join the catamaran to occupy the position of Trittel as a wing triber. Fernández is a specialist in this position, and he showed it in two challenges of the Copa América, first in the Italian Luna Rossa and then in the British BAR. American Taylor Canfield will also occupy the other vacancy, in particular that left Diego Botin as a flight controller. On this occasion, the coach will be the French Tanguy Cariou, Olympic and with several Copas America on his back.
