SailGP is the world's most exciting racing on-water. The annual, global championship – established in 2018 and entering its fifth season – features national teams battling in short, intense races at iconic stadium-style venues across the globe.
The high-tech, high-speed action features the sailing's best athletes racing in identical hydrofoiling F50 catamarans, flying at speeds approaching 100 km/h who compete for the sport's top prize money, with US$7 million at stake over the season.
SailGP also races for a better future, championing a world powered by nature. In 2020, SailGP set a new standard as the first climate positive sports and entertainment property and began delivering actions and innovations that advance the global adoption of clean energy. Underpinning the organization's purpose-driven agenda is a diversification of the league, with the goal of immediately progressing gender and racial equity and inclusivity.
SailGP is a global organization with defined values that shape the culture of its diverse team: deliver quality, break boundaries, make an impact, stand together and strike a balance.
