ABOUT SAILGP
Established in 2018 and head quartered in London and New York, SailGP is an annual, global sports championship featuring cutting-edge technology and athleticism. Rival national teams battle it out at speeds reaching up to 50 knots [about 60 mph] in F50 catamarans that evolved from the foiling vessels first featured during the 35th America’s Cup in Bermuda in 2017 for the SailGP trophy accompanied by the sport’s largest monetary prize of one million dollars.
“Bermuda is a truly ideal location to open our global championship next year,” said SailGP CEO Sir Russell Coutts. “It is not only a stunningly beautiful destination with perfect racing conditions, but it also offers a haven for our league to safely resume our calendar amidst the pandemic.
“The island has proven itself as an incredibly capable and welcoming host to major international events and is where the first generation of our F50 catamarans was introduced to the world during the America’s Cup in 2017.
