The 12th running of the Mubadala Sail Grand Prix kicks off on New York City's Governors Island this weekend. Several countries are eyeing a shot at the top three prior to SailGP's season four finale in San Francisco.
SailGP's last race in Halifax, Nova Scotia, saw Emirates GBR win gold with 40 points, while France and Rockwool Denmark received silver and bronze after tallying 35 points each.
Throughout SailGP's 12 contests, New Zealand currently sits atop the leaderboard, holding an 11-point lead over Spain, 83 to 72. Australia, France and Rockwool Denmark round out the top five at 71, 65 and 64 points, respectively. The United States, led by driver Taylor Canfield, sits in eighth place at 50 points.
Australia, the three-time SailGP champions, are facing remarkable pressure heading into this race, as their sixth-place showing in Canada dropped them to third -- their lowest ranking ever. The upcoming race in New York will be crucial for their championship hopes, as Emirates GBR and Canada lurk close behind at the fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
