Congratulations to the Black Foils of the New Zealand SailGP Team for securing their first event win of the 2025 season at the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, presented by P&O Marinas this weekend! 🏆 This marks the Kiwis’ second consecutive victory in Dubai, having also claimed the win here in Season 4. Led by Peter Burling, the team delivered a consistent performance throughout fleet racing, finishing at the top of the leaderboard to qualify for the Final alongside Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team and the U.S. SailGP Team. Despite multiple lead changes and shifty wind conditions, the Kiwis overtook the Americans and British to cross the line first and take the win. Black Foils driver Peter Burling shared his thoughts: "It was an awesome effort by our group to make it into the final this weekend. Then we got the chance to win it all and pulled out our best sail at the end. We seem to love these Middle Eastern events — that’s three wins in a row for us in this part of the world. I’m excited about the Grand Final being in a different spot and making sure we can win in Abu Dhabi.” #DubaiSGP #BlackFoils #SailGP #PoweredByNature
