"We've talked to anyone in this event and they'll say that their main goal is to make the top three the end of the season and missing an event like that is obviously incredibly tough on them. "It's effectively put us out of this event, which is a tough call for the team. The Brits started the round second overall on 24 points, five behind series leaders Australia and two ahead of New Zealand and Canada. "We ran into a rock effectively and carbon fibre and hard rock at about 15 kilometres per hour don't go too well. The abandonment means there will be three fleet races tomorrow and no podium race for the top three teams. "The stakes are high tomorrow but we are excited by that.

New Zealand gives sailing master-class in Rockwell Denmark ... (Sail World)

The Kiwis gave another sailing master-class, in starting and taking control of a race, to cruise to their second SailGP Final win. In contrast to the light wins ...

The race closed up at the top of the windward leg with New Zealand and France tacking into the right-hand corner. France looked to make the same error as in Race 2, but had a good margin and held on to finish second with DEN third. In the middle of the fleet, but handily placed, the USA muffed another gybe, came off their foils and dropped back to last. Burling pounced as they came through the middle at the bottom mark, catching Australia on port tack and getting a penalty on his trans-Tasman rival. Race 3: Burling again started well back and was first to be on the foils with 15secs to start. Denmark was was 11secs back, with France 14secs off the Kiwi lead. New Zealand led around Mark 1, with Denmark second and France third. Kiwis continued to dominate sailing at 51kmh in the 26kmh breeze at the top of the penultimate mark and leading all the way down the final leg to take the win. Burling dropped back on Leg 2 as the French and Australians contested the lead. Denmark took third after the French were penalised. Closing to the top of Leg 3, New Zealand moved into third, behind France and Australia, with Denmark in fourth. The wind remained the usual 22-26km at the bottom of the course and the race developed into a game of following the leader with New Zealand, Denmark and France in that order in the parade, with the Kiwis 100 metres ahead sailing at 50kmh downwind.
