This summer, the iconic metropolis will serve as the backdrop for the New York SailGP, a new regatta on the calendar in which six countries will race against each other in fast super catamarans. The characteristics of these sea racing cars (F50s can exceed 50 knots of speed) are so special that we can hardly speak strictly of “sailboats”. The Major, for example, is a Wingsail (a mix between a sail and an airplane wing).
The New York SailGP will take place Friday and Saturday, June 21-22 on the lower Hudson River, known for wind shifts through Manhattan’s skyscrapers, strong currents and tidal flow, will test world-class sailors to their limits.
Teams from the United States, Australia, China, France, Great Britain and Japan will compete in a total of five short-format fleet races, culminating with the top two teams in a match racing final to determine the winner of the event on Saturday afternoon.
