That's a wrap in Rio 🇧🇷
What a way to introduce SailGP to South America! Beautiful weather, stunning scenery and great racing – what more could you want? Even if the Crew narrowly missed out on the final, we should still be massively proud P4 overall is still plenty to be proud of. Taylor Canfield is named one of the Precision Athletes of the Day too!
Congrats to the BONDS Flying Roos for their event win, and we’ll see you in Bermuda in four weeks’ time.

Flying Roos take home the win 🏆
Nobody’s been able to touch the BONDS Flying Roos today – they won all three fleet races and have rounded out the weekend with victory in the final and an overall event win. It’s P2 for Los Gallos and P3 for Artemis Sweden after their penalty.
04/12/2026
Flying Roos take the lead again 🥇
The BONDS Flying Roos stayed up on the foils while Artemis Sweden dropped off them, and now the Swedish crew have been hit with a one-place penalty for impeding the Spanish. It looks like the Aussies are set to top off a dominant day with an event win.
04/12/2026
The field splits ⬅️ ➡️
AUS and SWE go left at the first mark, ESP roll the dice and go right.
04/12/2026
Perfect timing for AUS and SWE ⏱
Both Artemis Sweden and the BONDS Flying Roos nailed that start, but Los Gallos aren’t far behind. The Australians lead proceedings so far.
04/12/2026
One minute to go 🕧
We’re 60 seconds off from the final starting, as the three remaining teams make for the box – Artemis Sweden are winding it up early.
04/12/2026
It's almost final time 🏆
If you’re joining us for the first time, the three teams that accrued the most points over the last seven races now progress into a winner takes all final. Today, that’s the BONDS Flying Roos, Artemis Sweden and Los Gallos. The U.S. SailGP Team came so close after sitting in the top three for most of the weekend, but we hope you’ll still join us for coverage of the final in just a few moments.
04/12/2026
The Crew come home in P7 🗽
That’s P7 and four more points for the U.S. SailGP Team, which means we just miss out on the final, despite phenomenal efforts from Taylor and the Crew all weekend. We come home in P4 in the event with 40 pts, so still a result to be proud of!
04/12/2026
Unstoppable Roos 🦘
The top three for the final fleet race of the weekend is AUS, GER, SWE. The BONDS Flying Roos have won every race of the day so far.
04/12/2026
Big moment for Artemis! 😱
A big gust of wind gets underneath the Swedish boat, but they recover it. The BONDS Flying Roos have once again been unstoppable in Race 7.
04/12/2026
Los Gallos pull it back 😲
The Spanish squad come from miles back on the foils while the Crew is caught in congestion – it’s now Los Gallos in P5 and the U.S. SailGP Team in P8. Let’s give it one last push!
04/12/2026
Looking good for the Crew 🤞
Priority number one for the U.S. SailGP Team in this race is finishing ahead of Los Gallos, and it’s looking good as we head into leg 3 – the Crew runs P5, with Los Gallos in P11.

04/12/2026
Not the result we needed 😣
After a chaotic fleet Race 6, the U.S. SailGP Team comes home in P8. That drops the Crew out of the top three going into the final fleet race of the weekend, but it’s not over yet. Let’s give it everything in Race 7!
04/12/2026
Flying Roos win again – for now 🇦🇺

04/12/2026
What a start! 💪
The Crew get a fantastic start – Emirates GBR threaded the needle from miles back but are hit with a penalty for not giving room. Leaders the BONDS Flying Roos have been penalized too – this could be anyone’s race as the crews struggle to get up and foiling.
04/12/2026

04/11/2026
A fantastic Saturday for The Crew! 🇺🇸
That’s third, fourth, fifth, fifth in the first four races for the U.S. SailGP Team. Those consistent results put us second in the overall fleet race standings with 27 points, just a single point behind leaders the Bonds Flying Roos and in a seriously strong position to aim for tomorrow’s final. What an afternoon of racing in Rio – bring on tomorrow!
04/11/2026
What a race! 🏁
It’s an exciting battle for seventh as Mubadala Brazil keeps it super tight with Red Bull Italy, only just giving the Italians enough space at the final mark. What a way to round out the Rolex SailGP Championship’s first day of racing in South America!
04/11/2026
Another great finish for The Crew! 👏

04/11/2026

04/11/2026
More points in the bag 💰
Red Bull Italy never really had much competition for Race 3, and Rockwool Denmark take second after a quiet start to the weekend. It’s the Bonds Flying Roos and DS Automobiles France after that, but the U.S. SailGP Team comes home in fifth, adding another six points to add to a strong tally so far. Taylor and The Crew really know how to deal with these light conditions!
04/11/2026

04/11/2026
Underway with race 3️⃣
Great news for the local fans as Mubadala Brazil have solved their telemetry issues and line up for the start of race 3. This time it’s Red Bull Italy with the strongest start, but the U.S. SailGP Team continues its strong weekend and runs fourth.
04/11/2026
A great start to the weekend 💪
With two fleet races done, the U.S. SailGP team sits third in the event standings with 15 points. Let’s keep this momentum up and aim for another appearance in the final!
04/11/2026
Great play from Canfield for fourth! 🇺🇸
Taylor Canfield and the rest of The Crew take full advantage of a slowing Emirates GBR boat to swoop around the outside of the final gate and take fourth! Northstar Canada manage to pip the Brits to the line too. That’s another 7 points in the bag for the U.S. SailGP Team.
04/11/2026
Los Gallos take the win 🐓
It was another close finish as Artemis took a tactical gamble, making an extra turn to pick up a stronger wind, but the race-long leaders Los Gallos just take the win in Race 2.

The first-ever Grand Prix in Rio de Janeiro is undoubtedly an exciting moment for the sport – and there can be few more thrilling cities to visit for a SailGP race.
A truly iconic setting will see U.S. SailGP Team battle for points under the looming presence of Christ the Redeemer, sitting atop Corcovado Mountain.
The famous Sugarloaf Mountain also adorns the Rio coastline, of course, and there is no shortage of entertainment inland, with visitors able to sample Brazil’s renowned samba rhythms across the city.
From the Maracanã Stadium to Lapa’s vibrant nightlife and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, this is certainly one of the highlights of the SailGP calendar.
