Following a ferocious day's sailing on Sydney Harbour, GAC Pindar skipper Nathan Wilmot led the crew to their first podium finish at the final Act of the Extreme Sailing Series.

Sailing under the Team Australia flag, GAC Pindar finished the day in ninth position with a total of 40 points but showed positive signs throughout, notching a second place finish in round eight.
GAC Pindar Skipper Nathan Wilmot said: "After a slow start today we got to grips with the conditions in the final few races. There's definitely more to come from us this week and we're looking forward to getting out on the water again tomorrow."
