Whenever SailGP comes to Portsmouth, the Solent always delivers.
The stage was set with both groups finally poised
and several teams in contention for the four-boat final.
And the action started from the get-go.
Oh, that was punchy by the Canadians!
For a moment, it looked like it was going to be another Slingsby Sunday.
Oh, well, the crowd are going pretty pumped about that.
The final race of Group A saw the Bonds Flying Roos stumble at the start line.
Early start penalty, Australia.
That's a disaster for Tom Slingsby!
As Los Gaios and Northstar punched their ticket to the final.
Charles Scott on fire!
In Group B, Emirates Great Britain gave themselves a mountain to climb.
Emirates GBR, no, they've fallen off the foils in the manoeuvre.
And Explorer Swiss took advantage in Race 5 to leapfrog the US SailGP team
and qualify for their second final in a row.
Alongside Nathan Outerich and the Artemis team, who had sailed beautifully all weekend.
Ten races and ten winners from the fleet races.
In the final race, Explorer Swiss and Artemis fired out of the starting line
into a healthy lead at Mark 1.
Perfect from the Swedish team when they needed it,
but the Swiss are going to be so fast from here!
But there's no way Diego Boutin would allow the final to get away from Los Gaios.
The Spanish team spotted a big gust of wind at Gate 3 and split the race.
Firing them ahead of Artemis and in pole position for the trophy.
Seb Schneider tried to drag Explorer Swiss back into the race,
but Los Gaios and Artemis pulled away from the rest of the pack.
Here's the manoeuvre, how silky smooth can they be?
Before Diego Boutin took full control,
taking the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Trophy home to put next to the World Cup.
Los Gaios is going to walk away with 10 massive points,
which will take them up to 54 on the season.
Artemis picks up nine, North Star Canada Giles Scott,
they'll grab eight, and Explorer Swiss get the seven for making it to the event final.
The Bonds Flying Rouge still on top, 66 points.
Los Gaios sits in second, 54,
and it's Artemis now moving into third place ahead of both the US Sail GP team
and the Emirates GBR squad, your top five.
