The third position of the F50 Victoria keeps the hopes alive to enter the Grand Final of San Francisco

Spain ends the Australia Grand Prix sponsored by the multinational auditor KPMG with its third final of the SailGP season, after fighting the Taranto in Italy and the Gala of Saint- Tropez.

Slingsby's crew sharpened their leadership in the second season of SailGP, after dedicating the triumph to local hobby and adding ten points that only strengthen their advanced position in the league.

This third position of Spain at the Sydney event, behind the United States, allows F50 Victoria to keep alive the hopes of entering the Grand Final of San Francisco, to be held on March 26 and 27, 2022.

Japan has stayed at the gates of the final after winning the two tests of the day and reaching 94 km / h, the maximum speed of the day.
The pass to the Australian final was very good for Spain to stay alive for the Grand Final of San Francisco, which will be held in March in California.

In Sydney's final duel they played Spanish, Australian and American, but from the beginning it had little history. Tom Slingsby (Australia) and his team - great connoisseurs of Sidney Bay - were perfect.

They turned their heads from the same exit and the American Jimmy Spithill could only continue from the distance. Meanwhile, the F50 Victoria didn't have much choice.

2021-12-17: Spain is reborn in Sidney and leads Australia Sail Grand Prix

The Spanish keep alive the possibilities to enter the Grand Final of San Francisco

The F50 Victoria shines again in Sydney. Spain is leader after the first day of the Australia Sail Grand Prix l Sydney presented by KPMG by remaining in the podium positions in the three races played today. A first, second and third place have been the magnificent results of the team formed for the occasion by Phil Robertson, Florian Trittel, Diego Botin, Andrea Emone, Joan Cardona and Mateu Barber; with Joel Rodríguez as an alternate and Jordi Xammar taking on the role of coach. The other news of the day, in addition to the Spanish leadership, has been the serious collision in the last race between Britain and Japan, without personal damage, but with serious material damage, especially for the nipons.

The first test was spectacular, with the F50 Victoria very safe from the same exit, where Phil Robertson demonstrated great confidence. The Spanish ship took its lead from the very first moment, dominating the situation and demonstrating its power.

Excellent the second manga in which the United States prematurely came out and Japan quickly turned to the top. The F50 Victoria was also penalized on the way out for not keeping the distance with the Asians, but it barely affected him and managed to put himself third behind Britain... those who managed to overcome new... Japan won, followed by Spain and the United States.

In the third and last race of the day... Britain and Japan, who fought to impose, collided violently after Ainslie did not see the Japanese boat... Phil Robertson, given the situation, chose the smartest option for the F50 Victoria, not to risk and secure the third position, behind Australia and the United States.... tomorrow fleet will remeasure its forces on the last day of Australia Sail Grand Prix, to be held at 6: 00 in the morning, Spanish time

2021-12-15: Jordi Xammar Mist of the F50 Victory of Spain in Australia Sail GP

The Australia Sail Grand Prix will be held on the morning of this Friday and Saturday

The F50 Victoria returns to Sydney, where he began his journey in SailGP, almost two years ago, on the occasion of the Australia Sail Grand Prix sponsored by the multinational auditor KPMG, which will be held on the morning of this Friday and Saturday. This event is the last of 2021, before the fleet of eight teams travel to San Francisco in March to fight the Grand Final of Season 2.

The base of that team is maintained that represented Spain in 2019... is presented almost intact with Florian Trittel, Phil Robertson, Diego Botin, Joan Cardona, Joel Rodríguez and Mateu Barber. Jordi Xammar, who previously promoted the team along with Trittel in the Spanish Impulse of Youth America's Cup, was unable to compete in the first test of the Spanish team of SailGP, as he was immersed in his preparation for the Olympic meeting of Tokyo 2020.

Another of the developments regarding 2020 is the incorporation of women into the teams, officially since the Cadiz event this October. Tara Pacheco and Andrea Emone are the female crew members of the Spanish team in the 2021 season, the latter being present now in Sydney, ready to go up to the F50 Victoria.

Although he was unable to participate in the F50 Victoria premiere in Australia a year ago, Jordi Xammar will be on this occasion in Sydney, although he will not do so as a crew member. The Olympic medalist will act as coach, in the absence of Xabi Fernández, who will not be able to attend to the team because of other commitments.

Cadiz will host SailGP in late September 2022

Recently, SailGP has announced the calendar for the first eight tests to be held in season 3 and will soon do the same with the events of that same season to be held in the first quarter of 2023. In this context, Cadiz will return to the Spain Sail Grand Prix, 124; Andalusia - Cadiz, will be on September 24 and 25, 2022. The event will again count on the support of the Tourism Council of the Junta de Andalucía through the ERDF funds, as well as Diputación de Cadiz, Ciudad de Cadiz, Marina Española and the Harbour Authority of Cadiz.
