Jimmy Spithill announced his retirement from SailGP racing after the Australian catamaran he was helming was edged by trans-Tasman Sea rival New Zealand's Peter Burling in a photo finish at the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix on Sunday. Burling poked his 50-foot foiling catamaran across the line just a few feet ahead of the Aussies' “Flying Roo" after a tense final mark rounding on the Persian Gulf that included Canada's Phil Robertson drawing a penalty. It was Burling's first win since the Season 4 opener in Chicago and denied the three-time defending SailGP champion Aussies their first victory.
