Photo: Bob Martin \/ SailGPThe global foiling catamaran series, SailGP returns this weekend with the nine teams taking to the water of St Tropez, France for the fifth event in the 2021 season.
\nHaving won each of the past two SailGP events \u2013 in Plymouth and Denmark respectively \u2013 Tom Slingsby\u2019s Aussie team currently sits top of the Season Championship, two points ahead of the Brits (skippered by Sir Ben Ainslie) with Nathan Outteridge\u2019s Japan a further three behind.
\nSlingsby is a man on a mission at the moment, as the Australian returns to SailGP this weekend fresh from a dominant second consecutive International Moth World Championship title in Malcezine Italy last week.
\n\u201cObviously we are coming off a high winning the last two events, but we know this sort of high won\u2019t last forever,\u201d said Slingsby at the France Sail Grand Prix press conference. \u201cWe will get beaten soon.
\n\u201cBut the team has a really good energy right now and we are sailing confidently, and I\u2019m really proud as skipper and CEO of the team that we are sailing so well.
\n\u201cBut for sure Nathan is licking his lips at the light-air forecast and is very pleased with that, but anyone can win \u2013 that is clear to see.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had issues with light winds in the past but we\u2019re fixing them and have been quite strong in the last two events.\u201d
