SailGP – be a part of a thrilling new sailing event

SailGP is sailing’s answer to Formula 1 – as their website tells us, “it’s an annual, global sports league featuring bold, cutting-edge technology and awe-inspiring athleticism. The fan-centric, inshore racing takes place in some of the most iconic harbors around the globe and culminates with a $1 million winner-takes-all match race. Rival national teams battle it out in identical supercharged F50 catamarans, engineered for intense racing at electrifying speeds exceeding 50 knots (nearly 60 mph/100 kph).

Cowes (the Isle of Wight) is the centre of the UK leg of the event and to find out more about the programme and set up for Cowes, take a look at the SailGP website. You can also get a feel for the event via their YouTube channel.

Apart from the fun of sailing there will be plenty to see because it also the beginning of Cowes Week, probably the largest sailing regatta in the world. We’ll also make sure that everyone on board has a go at sailing the boat.  We’ll aim to have you back in Port Hamble by by around 6.00pm (depending on the traffic back up the river) to then travel home.
