SailGP returns in its third season with additional new teams, more iconic cities and thrilling racing as it reaffirms its status as the most exciting and purpose-driven racing on-water. The future has never looked brighter for SailGP as it expands both its competitive roster and an enviable list of global event locations, whilst returning to some fan-favourite destinations that attracted thousands of fans in Season 2.
Ireland was in the mix for a Sail GP Tour visit but, as Afloat reported in September, lack of shoreside space at Dun Laoghaire stalled the bid.
Once again bringing the sport's best roster of athletes together, the global championship welcomes two new franchise teams for its third season, with Canada and Switzerland set to expand SailGP's reach to new audiences. They join teams from Australia, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the United States.
SailGP Season 3 has been expanded to include ten events, with seven Grand Prix taking place in 2022 and the remainder in the first quarter of 2023, with the season expected to finish in April 2023.
Season 2 of SailGP continues with the Australia Sail Grand Prix presented by KPMG in Sydney on December 17 and 18. The season will conclude March 26 and 27 with the SailGP Grand Final in San Francisco.
