On 26 July 2026, Spain’s Los Gallos team captured a second straight SailGP win at the Emirates Great Britain Grand Prix in Portsmouth, beating Sweden’s Artemis, Canada’s NorthStar, and Switzerland’s Explora Journeys. The victory moved the crew to second place in the Rolex SailGP Championship, tightening the points race with Australian team Bonds Flying Roos still leading.

A day later, coverage of the event highlighted the same back‑to‑back triumph, noting the narrow 12‑point gap to the leaders after eight championship rounds. The race also showcased SailGP’s newly introduced Group Racing format, which splits the 13 teams into two fleets for more frequent contests. While the report also mentioned the Everglades Challenge endurance race and a personal boating story, the central development remained Los Gallos’ continued dominance in the series.

Overall, the two snapshots trace the progression of Los Gallos’ season‑long surge, illustrating how their successive victories and the league’s format changes are reshaping the championship standings.
