In this photo provided by Sail GP, the Great Britain SailGP Team, helmed by interim skipper Paul Goodison, practices in Taranto, Italy, June 1, 2021. The SailGP global road show touches down in Old Blighty this weekend, giving Goodison the opportunity to sail in front of home crowds for the first time since the 2012 London Olympics. The regatta on Plymouth Sound will also give Australia's Tom Slingsby the chance to bounce back from a last-place performance in the previous regatta, an unthinkable finish for the crack team that claimed the $1 million, winner-take-all prize during the inaugural season of 2019.
