Aarhus, Denmark (August 21, 2021) – Light winds plagued Aarhus Bay on the final day of racing at the ROCKWOOL Denmark Sail Grand Prix, with Tom Slingsby’s Australia SailGP Team advancing along with Japan and Great Britain in the final podium race, with the Aussies dominating the trio for the win.
On a day when teams sailed with only three crew, the two prior fleet races for the eight teams were both won by Nathan Outteridge’s Japan team, boosting them up from their overnight position of sixth place to the final three, with Jimmy Spithill’s USA team slipping to fourth after two fifth place finishes.
“A second win in a row is very satisfying,” said Slingsby. “It was pretty stressful out there. It was very light winds and still very obvious that Nathan [Outteridge] has an advantage in these conditions. Fortunately, the last race went our way. We got a good start, there was a lot of argy-bargy behind us and we managed to sail away.”
The victory maintain the Aussies position at the top of the Season 2 championship leaderboard…
