SailGP’s Season 4 continues to electrify as teams converge on Bermuda for the tenth event of the series. Scheduled for May 4-5, this race promises pivotal shifts in the leaderboard. All top sailing teams are vying for the championship in the azure waters of Bermuda.
Bermuda: A Crucial Battleground
As the teams gather in Bermuda, the competition intensifies with six teams—Spain, France, ROCKWOOL DEN, Canada, Emirates GBR, and the United States—still within reach of clinching the coveted third spot in the Grand Final. Bermuda’s leg is more than just another race; it’s a chance for these teams to assert dominance or play catch-up in the breathtaking Great Sound, Bermuda’s new race location that promises closer action than ever before.
Can Australia Make a Comeback?
Australia faces a significant test in Bermuda. After a tough outing in Christchurch, where an unfortunate collision led to heavy penalties, the three-time champions are determined. They are eager to reclaim their top form. The pressure is on for Tom Slingsby and his crew to bounce back and regain their leading position.
New Zealand’s Dominance on the Line
With five event wins this season, New Zealand sits comfortably at the top. However, the Kiwis must defend their position vigorously, particularly against their close rivals, the Australians. Bermuda could either solidify their lead or reshuffle the deck if they falter.

Bermuda is known for its ideal sailing conditions—steady breezes and flat waters—which could neutralize the advantage that experienced teams like New Zealand and Australia typically enjoy. This event might just level the playing field, giving all teams a fair shot at victory.
