Hometown Brits, Aussies look for SailGP rebound in Plymouth
In this photo provided by SailGP, the Australia SailGP Team helmed by Tom Slingsby practices on the water in Plymouth, England, July 14, 2021. The SailGP global road show touches down in Old Blighty this weekend, giving Britain's Paul Goodison the opportunity to sail in front of home crowds for the first time since the 2012 London Olympics. The regatta on Plymouth Sound will also give Slingsby the chance to bounce back from a last-place performance in the previous regatta, an unthinkable finish for the crack team that claimed the $1 million, winner-take-all prize during the inaugural season of 2019.
