Team owners Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds drop new video backing BONDS Flying Roos

The Bonds Flying Roos have today unveiled two major new partners, with monday.com and Blueberry joining Title Partner Bonds in multi-year deals commencing at the Abu Dhabi Grand Final of SailGP, sailing’s premiere racing league. The partnerships mark a significant step in powering the team’s continued success as they chase their record fourth title in the global sail racing series. To celebrate the team’s momentum on and off the water, the Roos have released a video with co-owners Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.

 

The video features Jackman, Reynolds and Bonds Flying Roos Driver and CEO Tom Slingsby giving fans a primer on SailGP and Team Australia. It captures the speed, intensity and national rivalries behind SailGP’s 50-foot foiling catamarans, underscoring why the league delivers some of the most exciting racing in the world.

Says Jackman and Reynolds: “We feel a tremendous responsibility to keep the Bonds Flying Roos on top of the SailGP leaderboard. With monday.com’s elite planning, Blueberry’s surgical trading precision and Bonds comfy and somewhat waterproof skivvies, we feel like we’re well-positioned heading into the Abu Dhabi Grand Finale. We have also been told the boat, team and captain matter so hopefully those work out as well.”

Global software company monday.com joins as the team’s Official Global Work Management Partner. Renowned for building products people love to use to manage the core of their work, monday.com will support the operational tempo of a team that moves people, equipment, and content production across continents. By unifying workflows across performance planning, team logistics, content production, repairs, and race-week execution, the AI-first platform will streamline collaboration and keep the Bonds Flying Roos performing at championship pace both on and off the water.

Says Harris Beber, Chief Marketing Officer, monday.com:“Championship teams aren’t defined only by what happens on race day; they’re defined by everything they execute between events. The Bonds Flying Roos run one of the most demanding operations in sport, with performance data, logistics, and content all moving at incredible speed. monday.com brings all of that into one place so the team can stay aligned, move faster, and stay focused on winning. We’re thrilled to support them as they push for another title.”

Australian-founded online trading platform Blueberry enters as the Official Online Trading Partner of the team. With ambitious growth plans, Blueberry sees SailGP as the perfect arena to connect with global audiences that value precision, agility and high-stakes decision-making, qualities shared by the elite Bonds Flying Roos athletes and smart traders.

Says Blueberry CEO Dean Hyde:“Our partnership with the Bonds Flying Roos marks a major milestone for Blueberry as we expand our global footprint. As a proud Australian brand, we’re thrilled to team up with one of Australia’s most successful and dynamic sporting outfits. The Bonds Flying Roos constantly demonstrate dedication, determination, and an unrelenting will to win, values we share at Blueberry. We look forward to this exciting journey together and to delivering memorable experiences for our clients worldwide.”

Says Tom Slingsby, Driver and CEO of the Bonds Flying Roos:“To head into the Grand Final with the support of Bonds, monday.com and Blueberry is something special for our team. We’ve worked hard all season for this moment, and we can’t wait to leave it all out there as we push for a fourth title for Australia.”

Founded in 2019 by Sir Russell Coutts and Larry Ellison, SailGP pits 12 national teams against each other in identical foiling F50 catamarans, hitting speeds over 100 km/h just metres from shore in iconic harbours worldwide. Under Slingsby’s leadership, Australia has dominated the Rolex SailGP Championship, with three titles in four seasons and now looks to cement a historic fourth championship as the BONDS Flying Roos with its new co-owners.

The team will debut its new partners at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix 2025 Season Grand Final presented by Abu Dhabi Sports Council, from November 29–30, where Slingsby’s crew will compete for a place in the winner-takes-all Grand Final and a USD 2 million prize – the largest in the sport.
