It felt like we were fighting the British on the first leg, and then the Spanish caught us on the final, upwind leg. They [Spain] had chosen to sort of concede and take a second, but they went for it and went for the win, and we managed to get around them.”
#1 New Zealand wins SailGP season opener in Dubai
24 November 2024 – Dubai, UAE

Reflecting on the race, Burling said: “Awesome play from the group – I mean as a new team to get to the final this week – it’s one of the hardest things in this light air. And we really pulled it out this season and got a great start and hit it right at mark one. I made a bad choice making it a bit more complicated – taking a right turn – which put us right back in the pack but then it was clean, and it was good to race from there to take a win.”
