SailGP 2025

 

Sydney, Australia – The iconic docks of Sydney Harbour were the stage for a dramatic and high-performance sailing event this past weekend, as the SailGP 2025 Championship made its third stop in the global series.

The event drew global attention not just for the cutting-edge technology and elite sailors, but also for the dramatic capsize of the United States SailGP Team during towing operations en route to a practice session. Unfortunately, the damage forced them to withdraw from the Sydney races—reminding everyone that even dockside preparation carries its risks in elite sailing.

The Emirates Great Britain Team emerged victorious at the Sydney dockside course, showcasing precise maneuvering and strategic excellence. Canada (NorthStar) and Australia followed closely behind, with Team Australia clocking the top speed of the weekend at an astonishing 96.4 km/h (52 knots).

Adding to the buzz on the docks, the France SailGP Team returned to competition after earlier mechanical setbacks had forced them to miss previous events. Their reappearance was warmly welcomed by fans and fellow competitors alike, and it amplified the growing reputation of SailGP as a true test of international endurance and innovation.

With state-of-the-art F50 foiling catamarans, SailGP races are redefining how marinas and docks are used for high-performance events—turning traditional mooring spaces into high-tech pit lanes.

As the competition heads to its next location, the docks of Sydney remain abuzz with post-race analysis and international fanfare. For dockmasters, marina owners, and sailing enthusiasts, SailGP offers a glimpse into the future of global sailing infrastructure and waterfront event hosting.
