Storms cut racing short as Emirates GBR claim victory
SEPTEMBER 13, 2025, SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE – Day two of the ROCKWOOL France Sail Grand Prix was cancelled due to forecast thunderstorms, forcing organisers to call off racing on the final day in Saint-Tropez. Although disappointing, the correct decision for the safety of the teams and crew.
With results standing after day one, Emirates GB SailGP Team were awarded the event win, securing a full 10 season points. Black Foils (New Zealand) finished second with 9 points, while Los Gallos Spain SailGP Team rounded out the podium in third with 8 points.
Emirates GBR driver Dylan Fletcher said: “We’re absolutely stoked to have finished top after the first day, it was a great day of racing on the 18 meter wings. We’re just looking forward to Geneva now. It’s disappointing not to be out there today, but Geneva is going to be fantastic.”
