Peter Burling and the New Zealand Black Foils sailed a flawless podium race on the Hudson River to win the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix and clinch a spot in SailGP’s $2 million, winner-take-all Grand Final in San Francisco next month. Burling and his mates took the inside position at the start and kept their 50-foot foiling catamaran ahead of Phil Robertson of Canada and Giles Scott of Britain to win for the fifth time in 12 regattas. They will have a spot on the start line for the three-boat Grand Final in San Francisco for the second straight year.
