San Francisco Sail Grand Prix

Your Event 5 winners – Spain!

We'll have plenty of reaction here and across social media as this all-American double header draws to a close. Don't go anywhere!

It's victory for Diego Botin and Spain - their first event win since Season Four in, you guessed it, San Francisco. They become the fifth event winners in as many events this season.

One move for Spain, nail it and it's surely theirs...

Canada are seven seconds behind Spain with one leg to go – can they hold on?

Spain still lead but will they go left or right at the next mark?

Spain lead the way after three legs of the Final. France in 2nd and Canada in 3rd.

The perfect start for France in the fog in the Final. It's Canada in 2nd and Spain in 3rd.

Due to Australia's misfortune at the line, it's Spain, Canada and France who will qualify for the Final. Again, we hope everyone on the Australian F50 is OK.

It's 2nd for Spain and 3rd for France who hold off the challenge of Brazil – what a race for the South Americans.

Peter Burling and New Zealand cruise across the finish line to win Fleet Race 7.

And just as we type that out, there's a penalty against the U.S. SailGP Team for sailing outside the boundary.

There's work to do for Taylor Canfield and co. who are 10th, trying to close the gap to Italy in 9th ahead of the final leg.

France have been forced to try to shut the door on Brazil who are in hot pursuit - and they've done it, they've overtaken the French team!

A penalty against Switzerland awarded by the umpire after a near miss with Canada who do well to avoid a collision. It is all going on!

The lead is constantly changing at the head of the fleet. It's been New Zealand, Brazil, France and now New Zealand again in leg 3.

We're pleased to report everyone on the Australian F50 is safe after that start. Fingers crossed.

Catastrophic start for Australia who have lost their wing at the start line - we hope no one is hurt. France enjoyed a much better start and are away in 1st.

A strong finish from the team secures an 8th-place finish in Fleet Race 6. Just one to go now for Canfield and co. to finish on a high in front of a home crowd.

Diego Botin and Spain take Fleet Race 6 with Austraila 00:06 seconds back in 2nd and New Zealand in 3rd. It's been a good day in the Bay for the Spanish!

We've moved up to 9th with Britain ahead in 8th. Can Taylor Canfield and co. move up the fleet in the final leg?

Canada are 11th, behind the U.S. SailGP Team after a strong showing in Fleet Race 5...

At Gate 4 and Spain are in control here. New Zealand overtake Australia to move into 2nd with France in fourth.

Diego Botin and co. have a lead of 100m on New Zealand in second. The Kiwis have the highest average speed.

Disaster for Great Britain who are dropping back in the fleet after the boat keels over and the rudder pops out the water. A bad start!

Spain cross the start line in 1st place with the Black Foils in hot pursuit!

It had been France, Switzerland and Canada throughout but Diego Botin and Spain dramatically nipped in the final approach to take the lead.

France really need these points - they will miss out on a place in the Final as things stand, so Quentin Delapierre and co. will be delighted with a strong start.

Britain have moved up the fleet into 7th, hot on the heels of Brazil in 6th. France now has a 100m advantage over Switzerland in 2nd!

Halfway through Race 5 and it's France who have moved into 1st! Switzerland are just behind in 2nd but moving faster than the leaders. Canada remain 3rd.

Switzerland remain out in front and have more wind in the middle than on the shoreline. Canada are narrowly behind in second with France just behind in third. Britain, meanwhile, have had a tough start and are way back in 10th.

It's a French-speaking triumvirate at the head of the fleet. Switzerland have gone into first with France, looking to build on a strong Day 1, followed by Canada in third.

Lessons were clearly learned from yesterday, everyone hung back after several penalties yesterday. The U.S. SailGP Team have started well but it's Giles Scott and Canada who got off the line first.

We're almost underway with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Let's go!

We see you, Hans! 👀

The U.S. SailGP Team and France do battle in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge

Not the day we were looking for but another ninth-place finish means two further points on the board on Day 1 for the U.S. SailGP Team, finishing ahead of Great Britain.

It's Canada's second win of the day, edging out France right at the death – a dramatic climax! New Zealand take third but the day belongs to Giles Scott and co.

The U.S. SailGP Team move past Italy in leg 5/6. Meanwhile, at the front, it's France-Canada-New Zealand. It's going to be close with the Canadians coming into the gate hot!

Not for the first time today, it's France in the lead. Canada are only just behind (+00:07) with Spain a little way back in third.

It has not been our day so far. The U.S. SailGP Team get too high, too loose and slip sideways, losing all their grip on the foil. It's back to 11th.

A really strong start for Taylor Canfield and co. It's France in first but we are hot on their heels!

Making a splash in San Francisco!

That penalty start proved costly at the start line. The U.S. SailGP Team finishes 9th, seeing off Germany and Brazil to score our first points of Day 1.

Fleet Race 3 is claimed by Spain and Diego Botin. Giles Scott and Canada are just behind with Tom Slingsby's Australia making up the top three.

We're still in 9th, trying to close the gap to France in 8th. We've got a handy lead over Brazil in leg 5/6.

The Spanish have the lead over Canada in 2nd, who are 00.08 behind - it is close! In 3rd it's Great Britain with Australia not far behind.

Taylor Canfield and co. are working their way through the fleet, overtaking Brazil and Germany in quick succession. More, please!

Early start penalties for the U.S. SailGP Team, Germany and Brazil and we head to the back of the fleet.

The view from the shore as the U.S. SailGP Team press hard

Victory for Canada in Fleet Race 2 with Great Britain in 2nd and Australia taking a second podium finish of the day in 3rd.

Having worked so hard to get into a top-three position, an error has cost the U.S SailGP Team. Flying too high and we've been punished, slipping to 10th.

A penalty against the U.S. SailGP Team has shaken things up. Canada are into 1st and Germany into 2nd.

Germany and Brazil almost collide. Brazil had the right of way and Germany just avoids trouble. Meanwhile, the U.S. are up to third and looking good. Neighbours Canada on our tails!

They led the entire of Fleet Race 1 and now France are 11th. Meanwhile, the U.S. SailGP Team are nicely positioned in fourth with Germany (1st), Brazil (2nd) and Italy (3) setting the pace.

Drama at the start - an early start penalty for France! Taylor Canfield and co. made a good start and we're already approaching mark number one.

Not the start we were looking for but all to play for!

A tough first Fleet Race for Taylor Canfield and co. who never really recovered after a congested start line left them at the back of the fleet. We move onto Fleet Race 2.

It's victory for France and Quentin Delapierre who led the whole way in Fleet Race 1. Second place goes to Australia with Spain in third.

Tom Slingsby and the Aussies have closed the gap and it's a race to the finish with France just ahead...

Roughly 50m ahead, France take the right mark, Australia go left - who will be proven right at the next mark?

The U.S. SailGP Team are back in 11th looking to close the gap on Brazil in 10th on the approach to mark three.

The French have got a nice gap between themselves and the chasing pack ahead of the second marker, with Australia in second and Spain in third.

We're underway in San Francisco and the French have made the perfect start as the line turns white!
