The SailGP Championship is a relatively new series that began in 2019. Combining state-of-the-art technology, elite sailing skill, and iconic locations all around the world, the competition is already making a name for itself. With all teams sailing in F50 foiling catamarans, the first boat ever to exceed 50 knots during a race, high speeds and high drama are guaranteed!
Each season comprises a series of 2-day Grand Prix events. These spectacular contests see a fleet of national teams take part in 5 qualifying races, earning points based on their finishing positions. These point totals decide which 3 crews will battle it out in the sixth race of the Grand Prix, known as The Final. Whichever team earns victory in The Final wins themselves 10 points on the Championship leaderboard. At the end of the season, the leaderboard determines the 3 teams who will contest the Grand Final – the last race of the last Grand Prix event.
As we come to the end of Season 2, the Grand Final will be the climactic race of the US Sail Grand Prix in San Francisco, taking place 26-27 March 2022. Defending champions Australia have already qualified for the Grand Final, alongside the United States. The third and final place in this all-important season-decider will be won in 5 preceding fleet races at the US Sail Grand Prix. Teams from Spain, Japan, New Zealand, Denmark, France, and Great Britain will all be fighting for a chance to claim the crown from the high-flying Australian crew.
