The United States, led by skipper Taylor Canfield, clinched a significant victory at the Sydney Sail Grand Prix on Sunday, marking their first win since their October triumph in Cadiz. This victory was secured after Canfield's team delivered a flawless performance in the three-boat final.

Canfield expressed pride in the team's efforts, emphasizing their strategic approach and ability to stay ahead of the competition. Meanwhile, Emirates GBR, spearheaded by Dylan Fletcher, managed a tight win in the initial race, despite the challenges posed by light wind conditions.
