The U.S. SailGP Team was close to the mark for that penalty on Switzerland and have benefited from their misfortune, climbing to P2.

03/1/2026
Race 1: And we're off! 🔊
The 11 boats are in the start box and with more than 30 seconds to go, it’s slow and tactical. Foul by the BONDS Flying Roos on Italy.
03/1/2026
Lighter conditions for Day 2 💨
Teams have gone up a wing size to the recently introduced 27.5m wing for Day 2 in Sydney. They’ll use the light-air T-foils and rudders and it’s expected there will be four athletes on board.

Welcome back for Day ✌️
Wherever you’re following along from, thanks for joining us for Day 2 of the KPMG Sydney Sail Grand Prix.
Action in the Harbour City gets underway in roughly an hour’s time. Yesterday brought lighter winds and tough conditions that meant the teams ended the day with four athletes on board. What will today bring?
02/28/2026
Day 1 ✅
Day 1 is in the books and what a day’s racing it was!
The BONDS Flying Roos started and ended the day well with two less impressive results sandwiched in between. Los Gallos were the big winners, though, and sit top of the event leaderboard overnight.
For the U.S. SailGP Team (6-3-10-3), it’s just a four-point gap to the Final on Super Sunday.
Stick with us throughout the day for all the reaction, both on the U.S. SailGP Team App and our social channels.

02/28/2026
A familiar face 🤝
You might spot a familiar face on board the Mubadala Brazil F50 today – that’s because former U.S. SailGP Team wing trimmer Jeremy Wilmot has joined up as a late substitute for Pietro Sibello, who is unable to race this weekend.

A trip down under is one of the highlights of any campaign — and Sydney has been on the SailGP calendar since the sport’s inception.
That is perhaps no surprise, with this venue consistently delivering excitement and drama in equal measure.
The city is also a premier tourist destination, featuring iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the golden sands of Bondi Beach.
It’s this combination of sailing intrigue and beautiful bays that keeps SailGP enthusiasts coming back for more, season after season.
