SAN FRANCISCO -- Tom Slingsby of Team Australia held on through a few tense moments after his catamaran fell off its foils and then prevailed over rival Peter Burling of New Zealand in a short dash to the finish to claim his third straight $1 million, winner-take-all SailGP season championship Sunday on San Francisco Bay.
Slingsby and his four-man, one-woman crew celebrated by spraying each other with Champagne and unfurling an Australian flag.Slingsby led at every mark after pushing the British back during the pre-start and then forcing the Kiwis wide at the first mark. The Aussies had a lead of about 100 meters approaching the fifth mark but came off their foils after a tack and slowed considerably, allowing the Kiwis to close within 30 meters. Slingsby crossed just ahead of Burling and then tacked.
