The Rolex SailGP Championship concluded its European leg at Lake Geneva with a decisive victory for Spain’s ‘Los Gallos’. In a winner-takes-all final, the Spanish crew, led by Diego Botín, defeated the championship-leading Australian team, Bonds Flying Roos. This victory marks the third Grand Prix win for the Spanish team and officially secures their qualification for the 2026 Grand Final in Abu Dhabi. Australia’s Bonds Flying Roos finished as runners-up for the second consecutive event. While they faced challenging light-wind conditions during qualifying, they maintained a strong position in the overall championship standings. Other top finishers included Denmark’s ROCKWOOL Racing in third place and the local Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP Team in fourth. New Zealand’s Black Foils narrowly missed the final, finishing just one point behind the qualifying threshold. As the 11th stage of a 13-stage season, the event saw significant logistical coordination, with local police implementing traffic and parking restrictions around the Geneva waterfront to manage crowds. In team developments, the U.S. SailGP Team announced that two-time Olympic champion Martine Grael will replace pilot Taylor Canfield, who is sidelined due to a clavicle fracture sustained in a bicycle accident. The championship will now pause until the final two events take place in the United Arab Emirates in late November.
