Great Britain Sail Grand Prix | Plymouth highlights video

by SailGP 3 Aug 2022 07:20 BST 30-31 July 2022

The third event of Season 3 ended with New Zealand claiming its first ever win during a weekend of masterful racing on the iconic waters of Plymouth Sound.

Two days of close-to-shore racing saw tides, currents and changeable conditions challenge crews and transform the racecourse into a game of snakes and ladders. Peter Burling's Kiwis dominated fleet racing before storming to victory in the three team winner-takes-all Final, beating Denmark and Australia to end Tom Slingbsy's five-event winning streak.

The weekend was also packed with plenty of other drama. Canada strategist Isabella Bertold slipped overboard, Australia suffered a broken rudder, and the Duchess of Cambridge helped Great Britain to victory in the Commonwealth Race vs New Zealand.

You can relive all this, and much more besides, with our gallery and extended highlights of the best bits of the Great Britain Sail Grand Prix | Plymouth!
