SailGP is sailing redefined. Established in 2018 and headquartered in London and New York, SailGP is an annual, global sports championship featuring bold, cutting-edge technology and awe-inspiring athleticism. The fan-centric, inshore racing takes place in some of the most iconic harbors around the globe and culminates with a $1 million winner-takes-all match race. Rival national teams from Australia, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the United States battle it out in identical supercharged F50 catamarans, engineered for intense racing at electrifying speeds exceeding 50 knots (nearly 60 mph).

It's so nice that you're giving the other teams some practice before NZ enters the room.
Are you bringing Glen Ashby?
Lol If we had someone in Oz with the motivation and dollars to burn for an America’s Cup challenge again we’d kick NZs arses. Spithall dominated Burling this Cup in the starts and tactically but NZ just had the faster boat. Not to mention he won and defended the cup multiple times for the Americans.
@@Squashed8Ball ones a fighter and ones a speedster. The speedster won...again.
New Zealand Four Americas Cups, Australia only one😂
@@marioslider6337 no he’s too old for this type of racing.
@@sidknee4975 lol we haven’t even fielded a team in the last thirty years buddy; did you skip over 3/4s of my post?
I like this, I loved Season 1 and was watching right along, but I feel like this might not be the best format for a documentary designed to catch new fans up on everything that has happened previously-- it just dives right in to interviews and voiceovers from the people involved without laying any sort of framework or background. I think it might help to have a narrator just giving a bit of explanation to build that framework for what we're seeing. Explaining who Coutts, Slingsby, Outteridge, etc. are, what history they have together, etc.
Gonna be fun with the Kiwis init this year
Looking forward to being in Bermuda for the 2021 season opener in Bermuda in a few weeks. Should be a great season for SailGP. Best of luck to everyone involved in making it happen.
Is this current? It seems to be based on the first season and the crews for the second are different
This is a recap of the 2019 Season before the lockdown. As the summary says, “Find out how the league was born”
Seems like this series should be called 'Sail to Survive'
That would probably be a better name for a Vendée Globe docuseries.
Cannot wait for it!
These look like dinosaurs 🦕
Ac75s is the way to go...
Too much of a cost barrier to entry.
Look how many teams are in SailGP this season, will likely never have that many if it was AC75s
We can see AC-75s in the AC, SailGP is the only place we can see F-50s.
AC75s are addictive ;-)
Pumped
The Sail GP app says it starts on the 24th in Bermuda. Not the 2nd. Why the difference?
The boats have to go through the canal & Nathan has to do some more Practice:-

@@mtl-ss1538 I would have thought they could have jumped right over the boat blocking the canal... bit of a ramp... wheee !
This is a more affordable and more accessible format which allows for more competitors unlike the America’s Cup(billionaires need only apply).
Some great racing!
So excited to soon be watching the 2021 series!!
You should clarify that these are not the current teams.
Seems like some of the info in this is out of date. Jimmy is helm of the US team, not Rome. For example.
This is a recap of Season 1.
@@zoepaulastrassfield2664 this was published 3 days ago. Season 1 was over a long time ago. The point of my comment was that it is out of date. If it was meant as a re-post of something old, it should say that prominently somewhere. The new season starts in 2 and a half weeks.
This is a series designed to catch people up on the history of the event before Season 2 (re)starts in Bermuda at the end of the month, so yes, they are starting here with the league founding and the first two grands prix in 2019 and presumably the later episodes will take us up to the present.
@@zoepaulastrassfield2664 Then that should be clear in the title/description of the video.
Who the best sailors are? They were just racing AC75's ;)
Yeh, like Dean Barker!
@@marioslider6337 he's more of a swimmer.
He was one of my AC faves and it is kind of sad that he isn’t part of SailGP but I guess that’s up to him.
This is not up to date, we r missing the kiwis and ben as helm of the brits, and jimmy as skipper for USA
Seems to be mostly a recap of the first season, so as to generate excitement. I did not find the video exciting. As someone who followed that season quite closely, I found this recap boring
Kiwis the best, that's why our sailors are brought out, never nation against nation because our country cannot compete financially all the time .Race your rich boats Richman, Kiwis the best and let it go overseas so your row boats have a chance. Me not interested anymore, Richman game, not nation against nation, all the best on your canoes.
It's like watching a B movie, not even close to other forms of sailing, bit rubbish really...
Interesting enough for you to comment on something you don't like though.
It’s a more affordable and accessible format which allows for more competitors unlike the AC(billionaires only).
This is not real sailing they only sail a course either upwind or downwind, no real sail-craft, no sail changing, no real opportunity to make or take major course changes just speed and spectacle the boats so dangerous that the crew have wear scuba diving equipment in case of capsize. Bring back the ‘J’ Class.
Bring it back to where? This isn't the Americas Cup.
Coutts is a terrible spokesperson
He does kinda talk in monotone.
