Great Britain claimed the $2 million prize by leveraging season-long consistency and mastering tricky wind shifts in a three-way final against New Zealand and Australia.
- On Sunday in Abu Dhabi, the Great Britain SailGP team won the 2025 championship, beating New Zealand's Black Foils and Australia's Flying Roos to claim the trophy and $2 million prize.
- Ben Ainslie's British team went into the final event topping the overall leaderboard as the most consistent of the league's 12 crews, aided by SailGP's cumulative-points format.
- The lead changed hands several times before Dylan Fletcher and strategist Hannah Mills found clear water by reading tricky wind shifts on Abu Dhabi's compact course, where teams used SailGP's new 27.5-metre wing.
- Despite the injury, Burling said `Incredibly hard how the whole season gets decided on one shifty 10-minute race` to reporters.
- Ben Ainslie's programme now gains prestige as he eyes the America's Cup in Naples in 2027, while SailGP, backed by Larry Ellison, boosts its global profile with Britain's win.
