The Canadian crew members whooped and hollered as their catamaran held off the Kiwis heading into the finish line
“It’s awesome. I’m so stoked to win at home,” said Robertson, who sailed in front of several family members. “It’s super, super special for me. I’ve got good mates on the shore. I haven’t raced here before so I’m pumped. For Canada, it’s just amazing. This team is pretty new and pretty fresh and we’ve been working hard to be competitive with all these top teams. Today’s just an example of what we can do when we put it all together.
Slingsby, in fifth place after Saturday’s three fleet races, won Sunday’s two fleet races wire-to-wire to earn a spot in the podium race. Canada squeaked into the podium race by one point over Britain. “I think you’ve been seeing it all along but we haven’t strung it all together so it’s nice to put the whole package in and get that final race,” Robertson said. “We gave it a good shot of letting the Kiwis back into it but we held strong. The boundary penalty must have been a half-meter or something over it. We managed to scrub that and stay on lay and come fast into the bottom, so happy days.”
