Red Bull Sailing Team stole the show on the first day of Extreme Sailing Series Los Cabos, scoring a pole position hat-trick in the event’s opening races.
“It was the perfect day for us,” said skipper and helm, Hagara. “Our manoeuvres were good so it was all about getting off the start line. Clearly we are aiming for the win now.”

Ben Ainslie on INEOS Rebels UK struggled in the light winds, but finished the day in fourth place, one point ahead of the Danish SAP Extreme Sailing Team.
