07/20/2025

A point to finish the day after two DNS due to technical issues. We survive a close call with ROCKWOOL Denmark to finish 10th and take a point.
07/20/2025
2nd for France 🇫🇷
It might not have been the weekend Quentin Delapierre and co. would have envisaged but they take 2nd after winning Fleet Race 6.

Big penalty for BONDS Flying Roos! 🤦
They've been made to pay and drop from fifth to 11th in the fleet after Craig Mitchell handed down a penalty from the Upmire's Booth. That could be huge in the final standings as the ROOS are currently fourth in the race to the Grand Final...

OCS penalty for Mubadala Brazil, though!
07/20/2025
Race 6 abandoned! 🤯
A spectator boat on the course means Fleet Race 6 starts and is swiftly curtailed. In the meantime, Emirates GBR are also enduring some technical issues.
