  • High speed, high risk, high reward. In SailGP, fortune definitely favours the bold. The global series features the sport’s best athletes racing in identical foiling F50 catamarans on world famous stretches of water. National teams, helmed by some of the most decorated sailors competing today, battle it out in short, intense races, reaching speeds of up to 100km/h. Season 3 has delivered more thrilling racing and several milestone achievements. Jimmy Spithill’s United States team claimed a first ever event victory at Saint-Tropez, while Quentin Delapierre marked his first anniversary as France’s driver by winning his first SailGP event at the Cádiz leg. This season has also been notable for the essential role played by the teams’ female members, including Hannah Mills of Great Britain, giving further impetus to SailGP’s women’s pathway programme that aims to promote gender equity and accelerate change in the sport. The third season of SailGP, a highly competitive championship supported by Rolex since its debut in 2019 as part of its partnership with yachting dating back more than 60 years, will culminate in May 2023 with the Grand Final in San Francisco Bay.
