Hollywood A-Lister Ryan Reynolds celebrates with powerhouse Australian SailGP team from front-row seat
The Flying Roos, Australia's powerhouse SailGP team, delivered a standout performance in Bermuda, securing their third victory of the 2026 season under the watchful eye of their celebrity co-owner Ryan Reynolds.
Reynolds, who also co-owns football team Wrexham and is one part of the Orto Capital stake in Alpine F1 team, joined the crew on the water to witness the Aussies' dominance.
With the victory, Australia has stretched their lead at the top of the leaderboard to 10 points ahead of the United Kingdom.

Set on the waters of the Great Sound, driver and CEO Tom Slingsby proved why he is the gold standard of the sport.
After winning two of the four qualifying fleet races, Slingsby steered the Aussies to a clinical victory in the winner-takes-all final against Germany and Spain.

"We're actually getting the results the team feels they deserve and we are gelling so well as a unit. We nailed it today, and nailed it yesterday, and so it's great to get the result," Slingsby said.
"Honestly, the feeling I have about this team, and I know we're just coming off a win, it just feels like wherever the game takes us, we'll be strong, and a huge part of that is having Goobs (Ian Jensen) as a part of our crew."
While the Australian flag flew high, it was a weekend to forget for another Aussie legend.

Nathan Outteridge, the two-time Australian Olympic medallist leading the Swedish entry, finished the event with zero points after a series of technical failures crippled his campaign.
Despite the 10-point lead and the momentum of three season wins, Slingsby remained wary of the long season that defines SailGP.
"We're in a good position after today, but you've seen what's happened to other boats today. We're not counting our chickens early."
