SailGP in New York City
This weekend, SailGP, a high-speed sailing league founded by Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts, hosts a race in New York City, showcasing 12 national teams racing catamarans that exceed 60 miles per hour. Mike Buckley, CEO and co-owner of the US SailGP team, emphasizes the league’s aim to bring sailing closer to fans by racing in iconic locations and enhancing the viewing experience with visually striking hydrofoiling boats. With a recent partnership with Amazon as its official retail partner, SailGP continues to grow in popularity and commercial viability.
