The crowd went wild and history was written in red, white and blue - this is the moment Emirates GBR stamped their name on SailGP immortality.
Dylan Fletcher’s team clawed back from third place to overhaul the BONDS Flying Roos and the Black Foils on the fourth leg of the winner-takes-all shootout.
They become only the third team to win a SailGP title, and in doing so pick up the $2 million prize pot, as well as an extra $400k for finishing the season with the most points.
“It was an unbelievable final," said Fletcher, who has enjoyed a sensational return to SailGP after rejoining Emirates GBR for the 2025 Season.
"All the three teams were amazing, any one of us could have won, but I’m just over the moon right now. What a team, what a year… I’m stoked.”
Emirates GBR also become the first team in the history of SailGP to complete a clean sweep, winning the 2025 Season Grand Final, topping the season standings and winning the Impact League.
