Bitter Sunday for the Spanish team of Sail GP in Dubai... who had no choice of looking for the gestures and fighting to reach the final. The rupture of a sensor at the top of the wing prevented ours from fighting the fourth manga of the weekend.

2023-12-09: An irregular day of Spain in Dubai... that ends eighth after the opening

Jimmy Spihill (Australia) has been the great feeling this Saturday, achieving three of three possible podiums with the Australian team

Day of ups and downs on the first day of the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P & O Marinas. The Spain SailGP Team was from less to more throughout the morning, ending with a second place in the third race of Mina Rashid.

In the first race of the day, the Spanish team went back, hampered by the traffic of the first positions and the last-minute maneuver by the Danish team, which was faster. The Spaniards arrived penultimate to the first buoy, for which France first passed, followed by Switzerland. The Spain SailGP Team, led by the pilot Diego Botin, managed to improve on its way to the second door, but ended up falling to the last place.

In the second manga, the ten teams moved to a 4-way configuration, making the wood Nicole van der Velden the Grinder of Los Gallos. For the second time, the Spanish team went far back; so far back that the penalties to Canada and Germany barely benefited him. Soon after, the German team would be disqualified, and the Spaniards would ascend to the ninth square.

Jimmy Spihill, an Australian pilot in Dubai due to Tom Slingsby's paternity leave, led his people to the first position, without finding any rival on the way. New Zealand, Canada and France played the second square. Spithill has certainly been the great feeling of this first day of career, achieving three pods of three possible. Australia has the end of tomorrow to shoot. In the last buoy, a great maneuver of the Spain SailGP Team allowed Spain to overcome Britain and take the eighth position.

The last race of the day saw a very different face of the Spanish team. The Gallos made a very good way out and managed to overcome the first buoy in second position, after taking advantage of France's pinch. Ours were very close to colliding with the French F50, but were able to maneuver dramatically before facing door number two.

Switzerland was in the lead and dreamed of taking the victory after two very irregular bands, but the veteran of Sir Ben Ainsley, the wind rachas and some other bad decision relegated the team piloted by Sébastien Schneiter to the sixth square. The Swiss are unable to take off at this SailGP Season 4.

Spain came first after passing door three, but they ended up giving in to Britain. In any case, the Spaniards managed to keep Australia at bay, which came from behind at full speed, and secure second place.

At the end of the first day in Dubai, the Spaniards march octavos in the general classification, eight points from Canada, which closes the podium with 21 points. Australia (26 points) and New Zealand (21 points) respectively hold the first and second positions, followed by Britain and France, both with 20 points.
