New Zealand won the Dubai SailGP with suspense and Spain returned to their old form

The Dubai Sail Grand Prix made many things clear, the favorites are always at the top and the rest settle in their rightful place. The Dubai SailGP Regatta, the last of the year, did not disappoint in terms of excitementEven if the wind is always weak, you have to know how to navigate these conditions and incidentally the good guys know how to do it with or without the wind.

Spain already saw from day one that she had little or nothing to do. On Saturday, tenth, ninth – they weren’t the last as Germany were disqualified – and a breath of air came with second place, but nothing could be further from the truth.

On the day they got another last – they apparently had a problem with the wing sensors – then they scored another ninth because Great Britain had been disqualified earlier.

Dubai is another unforgettable event After the incident at Cádiz, the Spanish boat was penalized for not lifting its head and continuing downstream without braking.

Peter Burling led New Zealand to victory in Emirati waters. The Kiwi boat played Australia in the final, in which Jimmy Spittle made an exceptional return to his homeland and played Canada’s former Spanish bat, Bill Robertson.

With very light winds, everyone had alternatives if Australia won the opener. Canada had its chances midway through the final, but New Zealand came out on top in the end., managed to overtake the Australians and Canadians in the last float, who reached the priority, which meant that Canada had to pull away, it was not enough and would be penalized, and Australia and New Zealanders they would reach the finish line almost at the same time. Eventually they had to take a photo, which confirmed the Kiwi win.
