Final day of racing sailed in light and tricky conditions with little foiling possible and only 14-16kmp/h (7-8 kts) wind speed on the racecourse
GBR start the day in fifth in the overalls, two points behind third placed Australia and one point behind France.
R1: GBR finish in third place ahead of AUS & FRA to move into third place overall
R2: Race abandoned by the race committee as the leading team unable to finish within the 14min time limit
R3: The final fleet race cancelled by the race committee.
GBR qualify for the podium final alongside Peter Burling's New Zealand SailGP Team and Jimmy Spithill's United States SailGP Team.
Podium final: GBR make good start, but the first gybe was the defining moment of the race with USA in more pressure and able to pull of the manoeuvre. USA led for the remainder of the race to take their maiden event victory
Podium final result: 1. USA, 2. NZL 3.GBR.
GBR move up into third in the Season 3 overalls
SailGP Season 3 resumes in Cadiz, Spain for the final event of the European leg on 24-25 September 2022
