The Black Foils have made a successful return to SailGP action after four months away on a tricky weather day in Halifax.

Australia and Sweden lead the fleet after a shifty opening day of the Canada Sail Grand Prix, putting down early markers on Halifax Harbour. Several races were abandoned or sailed on shortened courses.

All the signs were for a blast and the Race Committee split the fleet, put on the 24 Metre Wing and the heavy weather boards and rudders. As it turned-out most of the racing was non-foiling, even with the crew reduced to four, and one race was abandoned and rerun to get just two races…
