But Spain’s advantage was short-lived, with Australia and New Zealand hot on its heels, applying pressure at every turn. The Spaniard raised the ride height to the maximum to squeeze maximum speed out of his F50, and was able to reach a top speed of 90 km/h.

Disaster struck Australia in the closing stages of the race, when an erratic maneuver caused the three-time SailGP champion to fall from the foils.

After the regatta, Bodin announced: “I can’t describe the feeling I’m feeling right now, it’s a big adrenaline rush. I can’t believe we did it in Bermuda and here again in the Grand Final in San Francisco.”.
