Ryan Reynolds Score 'Maximum Effort Victory' in Race Against Hugh Jackman

Reynolds took the practice race after a penalty decided the head-to-head showdown, giving Canada bragging rights over Jackman and the Australian crew.

  • On Friday, actor Ryan Reynolds claimed bragging rights in Valencia, defeating fellow BONDS Flying Roos co-owner Hugh Jackman in a high-speed practice race ahead of the Spain Sail Grand Prix.
  • Wearing custom Deadpool and Wolverine helmets, Reynolds joined the NorthStar Canada boat while Jackman boarded the Australian F50, bringing their well-known rivalry to the fastest race on water.
  • The neck-and-neck contest was decided by a penalty, resulting in Reynolds' "maximum effort victory." Jackman described the F50 catamarans as "unbelievable, so fast!"
  • Canadian driver Giles Scott cited the win provided "bragging rights against the Aussies," while Reynolds quipped that "humiliating Hugh Jackman" is a "national pastime in Canada."
  • At Saturday's actual event, however, Australia topped Group A while Canada finished at the bottom of Group B, reversing Friday's competitive dynamic.
