Sydney’s practice racing was packed with dramatic incidents, culminating in a considerable collision between Mubadala Brazil and Germany. The F50 fleet took to the water for three practice races ahead of official racing this weekend, but disaster struck the United States almost immediately. The American F50 was being towed to the racecourse when it capsized, resulting in enough damage to the wing sail to prevent the team from taking part in practice racing.

The fleet hit speeds over 90 km/h on the start line, with home team Australia putting in a picture perfect performance to gain the all-important inside line to Mark 1 and stretch away from the rest of the fleet.

Tight maneuvering amongst a crowded pack saw Rockwool DEN lose control, coming close to capsizing on top of the New Zealand F50 on the final leg of the race.

Seconds later, France suffered a hard nosedive on the approach to the finish line as the team worked to get up to grips with the new T-Foils. Australia won two of four races on the first day of its home SailGP event on Sydney Harbour on Saturday to finish the day atop the points table ahead of Britain and a French team which made an outstanding return after missing the first two events of the season..

The Australians also had a third and a second placing and finished the day with 37 points ahead of Britain with 32 points and France with 27. Britain won the second race of the day and Switzerland, which won the first race, was in fourth place overall.

Conditions were tricky throughout the day. While the sea state generally was flat, a storm cell sitting over the Sydney suburbs produced some sharp wind shifts which caused dramatic racing.

“It was a lot nicer when we got a bit clear," Australian strategist Natasha Bryant said. “It was super tight course and there were some crazy angles when it's so shifty so there was a lot going on sometimes.”

The French made a superb return to racing after missing events in Dubai in November and Auckland last month because of trouble with their wing sail. They won the start of the first race and had second, third, fourth and eighth placings to finish the day in third place.

“It was wonderful being back here in Sydney in good conditions,” driver Quentin Delapierre said.

The surprise of the day was New Zealand which was expected to challenge Australia but had a seventh, eighth and two last placings to finish the day in ninth place. The New Zealanders were beset throughout the day by technical problems.
