Tom Slingsby of Team Australia held on through a few tense moments after his catamaran fell off its foils and then prevailed over rival Peter Burling of New Zealand in a short dash to the finish to claim his third straight $1 million, winner-take-all SailGP season championship Sunday on San Francisco Bay.
Slingsby, who has dominated tech tycoon Larry Ellison’s global league since it debuted in 2019, dodged what could have been a huge embarrassment when he recovered and kept his 50-foot Flying Roo — nicknamed for the giant yellow kangaroo on the wingsail — ahead of Burling for the thrilling victory.
British star Sir Ben Ainslie finished a distant third in the Grand Final.
