SailGP GB
Team GB beat New Zealand in the friendly Commonwealth Race in Plymouth ahead of the annual SailGP championship.
News outlets reported that the United Kingdom team was personally inspired to win by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, who joined the national team along with Sir Ben Ainsley. On the eve of the race, the Duchess joined the participants and spoke with members of both teams.
SailGP is an international championship that has been held annually since 2018 on F50 catamarans. The races are traditionally held in the most iconic locations around the world and culminate in a final competition for a prize of up to $1 million.
In the race, which preceded the start of the first official day of the regatta, the British team was opposed by UN patron Lewis Pugh, as well as Peter Beurling and Blair Tuke. The British won a landslide victory in front of thousands of compatriots gathered on the coast of Plymouth.
Kate Middleton is reported to have officially arrived at SailGP as an ambassador for the 1851 Trust, the official charity of Team GB SailGP. The Duchess is a patron of the foundation, which specialises in developing and supporting educational projects for teenagers in the fields of sport and sustainability. The foundation is also a partner of Team GB in the SailGP races.
