Two days of close-to-shore racing will take place on May 6-7, with defending champions Australia already guaranteed to fight for the Championship title in the three-boat, winner-takes-all Grand Final. Peter Burling’s New Zealand is currently in second place with 73 points, while France and Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team look set to go head to head in the battle for the third Grand Final place.
