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, China, France, Great Britain, Japan 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).br br #SailGP #SailingRedefinedbr br In November 2018 the Chinese and American teams were the first two SailGP teams to get training time on the F50, the supercharged foiling catamaran that they will race next year. They sailed out of the Northpoint facility in New Zealand's stunning Northland region. The four remaining teams will have their chance over the following weeks, before the boats are shipped to Sydney for the inaugural SailGP event 15-16 February, 2019.
