Australia risks missing the multi-million dollar SailGP grand final for the first time but skipper Tom Slingsby says he's feeling less pressure than in previous years.
Champions in three of the high-speed sailing league's first four seasons, it's been a mixed fifth campaign for the Aussie team recently purchased by Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.
A collapsed wing in San Francisco, usually a happy hunting ground for Slingsby and co., was the low point of a season that has featured one regatta win in Auckland back in January.
