Against all prognosis, Australia is crowned in one of the most challenging endings in SailGP history, followed closely by France and Great Britain

The adrenaline has returned to SailGP on the second day of the Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P & O Marinas where Spain has made history in this starring sports league which has probably been the most historic departure of the season and the team's first victory with Jordi Xammar as a F50 Victoria pilot.

After a strategy failure on the first day of the race, the Spaniards have made a new and new blur and followed the good track they had carried throughout the week of training in Dubai and that on Friday ended with a victory at the Practice Race.

The second day of racing has started with a discreet seventh place, but the results have been growing career after race to be crowned with a well-deserved first place that made it fly to the red tide.

Today Jordi Xammar demonstrated his tenacity and leadership over the F50, leading the team to victory with a team that has given lessons of evolution, forming a perfect synchronization along with Florian Trittel, Paula Barceló, Diego Botin, Joan Cardona, Joel Rodriguez (first race) and Jake Lilley (second and third). The Spaniards managed to overcome the strategic failures of the first day, opening way between an extremely competitive fleet.

2022-11-12: A wind-free Dubai leaves the Spanish SailGP team in the last squares

The lack of wind has put the teams that have played everything in the exits again in trouble

The Dubai Sail Grand Prix-P & O Marinas began with a complicated racing day in which the fleet has suffered to lift the flight due to a lack of wind. The Spanish team, despite a brilliant practice race yesterday in which it nailed all the maneuvers and catapulted them to the first position, today has punctured the exits by a strategy failure as the wind conditions have not been the ones expected. The British team has been the winner of the day, with a master Ben Ainslie who has won two very hard wins.

The virtually non-existent wind has caught the SailGP fleet by surprise and although the day did not anticipate good conditions, the wind has gone from more to less. This has caused the day's races to be too slow and the teams to be played practically in the exits, which has also penalized the Australians of Slingsby who, despite leading the overall classification to date, have been relegated to the latest positions.

Once again, SailGP has shown that it is a competition is in constant evolution, where each maneuver and step in false condition the final classification. Today the tactic has been decisive for the teams, who were to read in the water the wind showers and fight every maneuver. Britain has been one of the teams of the day, making two of the races followed by close to New Zealand and the United States, which have shown a total mastery of their F50.
