Final showdown at Samui Regatta. Not quite a Thai tie – but close

The Bonds Flying Roos have claimed a third consecutive SailGP event victory, in a final that went down to the wire. The dramatic, come-from-behind win capped a remarkable day for the Australians who swapped a broken rudder before the start of Race 1.

Once again there was a major collision involving three boats, taking them all out of the race, but fortunately, but, fortunately and surprisingly, the event organisers did not report any injuries.

In front of a large crowd gathered along the seawall, the 36 sailors set off from Pornichet for the final leg of the 2026 La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec. At exactly 7:00 p.m., the start was given in ideal conditions.

A day after the fleet baked through a long, windless endurance test on Lake Geneva, the TF35 Mies Grand Prix ended in altogether different fashion as a dry northwesterly Joran swept down from Jura mountains and blew the regatta to an abrupt conclusion.
