Young New Zealand sailors took the top two places and the top female trophy at the SailGP Inspire event, held as part of SailGP Sydney.

Sean Herbert took the overall prize, with Sam Street second overall. Stella Bilger took the trophy for first female, with a daring late gybe on the finish line of the final race.

New Zealand did not have had an entry at the main event, although Phil Robertson (NZL) was the stand-in skipper for the Spanish entry.
