Peter Burling’s crew bounced back from a disappointing European leg of the campaign to triumph on Mina Rashid - picking up the win via the most dramatic of photo finishes.

Australia - skippered by Jimmy Spithill due to Tom Slingsby's absence - were beaten to the finish line by the tightest of margins, with Canada completing the podium after being hit with a late penalty that saw them drop behind their two rivals - despite actually crossing the finish line first.
