Sail GP offers adrenaline-fueled races, legendary global locations, rival national teams and record-breaking speeds. World-class athletes will take to the water in flying boats that can potentially reach over 54 knots (100km/h).
Races involve 12 identical boats racing around a short course (located close to shore for great viewing opportunities), reaching incredible speeds.
Competition is fierce with some of the world's best athletes competing to take the title - not to mention the $7 million USD prize at stake.
