VARIOUS OF UK CREW CHAMPAGNE CELEBRATIONS STORY: Ben Ainslie and the British team wasted no time establishing themselves as the ones to beat this season as they put on impressive performances throughout Sydney SailGP to claim their first event title on Saturday (February 29).

The first match race of the campaign saw traditional rivals Great Britain and Australia face off and the four-time Olympic gold medalist capped off his debut in style against the defending champion.

The match race closely reflected the racing throughout the entire event, as the British team got out to an early lead and was the fastest boat on Sydney Harbour.

Tom Slingsby and the Australians found themselves behind from the start, incurring a penalty for entering the start box early and the hosts were unable to pull back.

After the first event of Season 2, Great Britain sit on top the leaderboard with 47 points, followed by Australia with 42, Japan with 39, Spain with 31, the United States at 12 and Denmark with 22, while France rounds out the standings with 14 points.
