Talent or Timing? - SailGP 2025 - New York
The good news was that SailGP was back up and running after having to pause proceedings and cancel an entire event following the dramatic dismasting of the Australian boat in San Francisco. More good news was that the full complement of 12 boats was ready and raring to go. But the weather had other ideas. Light, tricky and patchy conditions made the racing pretty stressful for everyone and resulted in some erratic results across the fleet. Overall you'd be tempted to call it a lottery, but a handful of teams were delivering sufficiently consistent performances to leave us all guessing as to whether it was tactics or timing that delivered the final result. Matt Sheahan reviews the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix and takes a look at the fleet standings at the mid point of the season.
