Canada has won the Sail GP event at Lyttelton Harbour in Christchurch.

Canada was too strong for New Zealand and Australia in the final, winning the final by 6 seconds.

New Zealander Phil Robertson was at the helm of winner Canda, securing Canada’s first event win.

New Zealand, Canada and Australia all made good starts in the final, but Canada got to Mark One first.
