No time? blue News summarizes for you
- The most exciting regatta series in the world kicked off in Perth on Saturday. Three teams are tied on points after the first day of racing at the SailGP in Australia.
- Things went badly for Switzerland. After just over a minute, they collided with the New Zealand team Black Foils, ending the race for both teams before it had even really begun.
- The second day of racing will take place on Sunday. Fortunately, the Swiss catamaran is fully operational again.
- blue Zoom will continue to broadcast all races in the new season.
