Triumphant Seamanship: Emirates GBR Sails to Victory in Perth

The reigning champions, Emirates Great Britain, showcased their exceptional sailing prowess as they defended their Perth Sail Grand Prix title, wrapping up the weekend with an impressive display of skill and strategy.

Led by Dylan Fletcher, the team overcame a fifth-place finish on the first day, only to dominate Sunday’s races amid challenging conditions that included steep waves and strong winds. Their performance secured their place in the finals, where they triumphantly outpaced contenders from Australia and France.

Swedish newcomers Artemis SailGP, the first day leaders, were edged out of the finals, finishing fourth after a disappointing performance. The Australian team, although thwarted by injuries and personnel changes, clinched the second spot in the final, determined to build on their successes in upcoming events.
