DAY 1 RACE 2, SailGP Season Three Final - Fans were also forced to hold their breath during the second fleet race of the day, as Phil Robertson’s Canada Team almost collided with the Australians, which could have taken the Flying Roo out of the Grand Final. It was the quick thinking of Slingsby who turned the Flying Roo up quickly to avoid a catastrophe. Tom Slingsby said: “I don’t know if they didn’t see us or they didn’t react in time but that was a really close call. The aggressive side of me that wanted to win the race wanted to press on them but then the other part took over and told me to get out of there and keep it clean to protect the asset.”

The new Bayliner Element XR7 looks, at first glance, a bit unusual—is it a pontoon boat? A deck boat? A runabout? The answer in all cases is yes, and like the other Elements in Bayliner’s stables, instead of following the “norm” the XR7 blazes new trails of its own. The console houses a head compartment that’s a big step up from the canvas pop-up head enclosures found on most pontoons. One gripe: there was no strap to secure the head door open (nor was there one for the boarding door). Let’s remember that we tested a prototype and Bayliner may add straps to production boats, but if they don’t, this is something you’ll want to add on your own.
