Some Events Today:
SailGP is an international sailing competition that features high-performance F50 foiling catamarans, where teams compete across a season of multiple grands prix around the world.[1] Its reigning champions are Tom Slingsby's Australia SailGP Team, who won their third consecutive title in the 2022-23 SailGP championship.
Following 13-events of intense, stadium style racing at the most iconic venues in the world, the 10-strong F50 fleet returns to San Francisco to decide the ultimate winner of Season 4 and battle it out for a $2 million prize pot.
Five fleet races will take place across the two-day spectacle, propelling the top three teams into the winner-takes-all Grand Final showdown. The ultimate battle will then begin, with national pride and incredible prize money on the line. Will Tom Slingsby’s Australia secure a fourth consecutive SailGP victory - or will San Francisco host the crowning of a new winner?
