Peter Burling has been cleared to return, with SailGP confirming he will take a full part in practice racing in Abu Dhabi. The Black Foils had been waiting on final approval before bringing their skipper back, and with that clearance now in hand, the team is free to continue its normal race build-up ahead of the weekend.

Burling's return brings the full line-up back together as they head into a tight finish to the season. With their driver back on board, the Black Foils can focus on tuning their boat handling and sharpening their calls before racing starts in earnest.
