Ryan Reynolds claimed bragging rights in Valencia yesterday, winning a high-speed 6th Sailor Race against fellow BONDS Flying Roos co-owner Hugh Jackman.
Wearing custom Wolverine and Deadpool helmets designed by artist Painton, Hugh stepped onboard the BONDS Flying Roos’ Australian F50 while Ryan joined NorthStar Canada’s boat for the head-to-head showdown ahead of this weekend’s Spain Sail Grand Prix.
Joining the crews as 6th sailors, Hugh and Ryan experienced the speed and intensity of SailGP firsthand, with both taking the wheel to drive the flying F50 catamarans during the race.
The neck and neck race came down to a penalty but saw Ryan claim a "maximum effort victory."

Speaking after the race, he said: "I've done this one other time - got my a** kicked.
"This time I went for it again and just like last time I got my a** kicked but this time I did a little bit better I think.
"And of course humiliating Hugh Jackman; that's a national pastime in Canada."
Hugh said: "It was just unbelievable, so fast!"
