SAILGP'S IMPACT JOURNEY SO FAR...
Launched in 2019, SailGP has a goal to redefine sailing by creating the world's most exciting race on water, featuring the best athletes, in short, intense races at iconic stadium-style venues across the globe. The nation versus nation teams compete across the season on identical, cutting-edge hydrofoiling catamarans flying at electrifying speeds approaching 100 km/h for sailing's biggest prize of US$1 million. It is underpinned by a clear purpose and commitment to make sustainability and social diversity action essential to the fabric of sport.
