    A feeling of finally being back in the mix for the New Zealand Sail GP team

    A feeling of finally being back in the mix for the New Zealand Sail GP team


    The Kiwi crew are back into third overall after clinching a photo-finish in the regatta-concluding top three finale in Dubai.

    It comes after a rough European leg where they snapped their wingsail in St Tropez, missed the next event in Italy and had to settle for fourth on their return in Spain last time out.

    New Zealand driver Peter Burling says the Dubai triumph is a satisfying one.



    Australia lead the overall standings, with Denmark just one point clear of the Kiwis.
