No pressure whatsoever, but Tom Slingsby and his mates with Team Australia really need a win on home water when SailGP makes its annual stop on Sydney Harbor this weekend. Not only have the three-time defending champions not won a regatta in Season 4 of the global league, but there would be no bigger gut punch than if their hard-charging rival from across the Tasman Sea, Team New Zealand, hoisted the trophy and sprayed Champagne with the backdrop of the Opera House and Harbor Bridge. “It would be pretty bad,” Slingsby said in a video call from his home north of Sydney.
