The Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team has won the ROCKWOOL France Sail Grand Prix in Saint-Tropez, after Race Day Two was cancelled due to an incoming thunderstorm and lightning risk.
The British crew, driven by Olympic gold medallist Dylan Fletcher, topped the event leaderboard after the first day's racing on Friday, coming away with a scorecard of 2-4-6-1 from the four fleet races.
There was due to be three more full fleet races on Saturday, with the top three teams from across the weekend then going into the winner-takes-all event final. Saturday's action was cancelled early this morning after forecasters deemed there to be a thunderstorm and lightning risk, in which the carbon fibre F50s are not allowed to sail. This meant Emirates GBR was declared winner of the event, taking away the trophy and the 10 season points. New Zealand took second while Spain placed third. The British crew now sits second on the 2025 Season leaderboard, just two points behind the Kiwis in first.
