Ainslie, Slingsby look forward to competitive SailGP season
By BERNIE WILSONApril 22, 2021 GMT
British sailing star Sir Ben Ainslie gave a tantalizing look at what the second season of SailGP would offer when he dominated the opening regatta on Sydney Harbor in February 2020, including a victory over Tom Slingsby and defending champion Australia in the match-race final.
A few weeks later, the coronavirus pandemic shut down world sports, including SailGP, and the results of that opening regatta were declared void.
More than a year later, Season 2 begins this weekend on Bermuda’s Great Sound, where teams from eight countries will begin the chase for the $1 million, winner-take-all prize that will be awarded at the season finale in San Francisco next March.
