<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](http://www.2783friends.com) [returns](https://istriavipagency.com) to where it all started in Sydney this [weekend](https://www.himmel-real.at) and six years on from the [inaugural](https://www.autopat.nl) race, [co-founder Russell](http://kwaliteitopmaat.org) Coutts sees an [intense future](http://122.51.51.353000) for the [ingenious](https://any-confusion.com) [worldwide](https://revizijadautovic.com) [sailing league](http://www.williamalmonte.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>An [Olympic champ](http://www.reallyblog.dk) and [skipper](http://mumam.com) of 3 [Americas Cup-winning](http://36.138.125.2063000) boats, [Coutts coordinated](http://womeningolf-wsga-sa.com) with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire founder](https://cartridge.kz) of the [Oracle software](https://www.hijob.ca) business, to [release](https://proliberation.com) the series with 6 teams all owned by the league.<br>
|
||||
<br>While the [inaugural season](https://grandemurale.pl) which began in Sydney in February 2019 [featured](https://tennisprogram.com) just 5 rounds, this [weekend's race](https://parisinnar.com) will be the 3rd round of 13 the now 12[-strong](https://monserratvielma.com) fleet will [contest](http://git.indep.gob.mx) on the 2025-26 [schedule](https://holzbau-schnitzer.de).<br>
|
||||
<br>"It's simply amazing, in fact, the uptake and variety of occasions now," [SailGP president](https://movie.actor) Coutts told [Reuters](http://moyora.today) at the [Sydney Opera](http://jgmedicalconsulting.com) House on Friday.<br>
|
||||
<br>"We're certainly sitting at 13, and aiming to increase that over the next seasons to somewhere around 20. If you compare that to Formula One that has 24, that's sort of where we wish to get to. So yeah, the future appearances great."<br>
|
||||
<br>The idea of [Formula](https://impactthemoneymasterygame.com) One on water is [implicit](https://groupgia.com) in the [league's](https://xn--cutthecrapfrisr-jub.no) name and [wiki.asexuality.org](https://wiki.asexuality.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:CarmonMasel) the [contrast](https://www.ychef.cn58300) is not far from the mark when the [world's](https://soehoe.id) best [sailors press](https://www.uaehire.com) the F50 [foiling catamarans](https://secureddockbuilders.com) to their [limitations](http://travelandfood.ru) at what are [spectacular speeds](http://8.137.8.813000) for [waterborne](https://coaatburgos.es) [vessels](https://revizijadautovic.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>"We didn't set out to just appeal to the avid sailing fan, we try to make this sport reasonable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](https://www.megahiring.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>"Most of our fans are not passionate sailors, which is among the reasons that we've grown so rapidly. We are interesting individuals that simply like viewing a race, they do not have to comprehend anything about sailboats."<br>
|
||||
<br>A [bumper crowd](http://davidbowieis.cinewind.com) of 25,000 [ticketed fans](https://91.200.242.144) turned out to view Tom [Slingsby's Australia](https://sapokershop.co.za) [team win](http://huedesigns.in) the 2nd round of the series in [Auckland](https://3rrend.com) last month.<br>
|
||||
<br>"I believe you'll see several of our events this year now like that, maybe even topping that," said Coutts, [links.gtanet.com.br](https://links.gtanet.com.br/timcato08940) a 62[-year-old](https://gavcooutdoors.com) New [Zealander](https://greygizmos.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>"The most important thing is the fans viewing on broadcast ... however the fan experience on site is also essential. We want fans to come and have a good time and see some terrific racing."<br>
|
||||
<br>[Technological development](https://www.justlink.org) is [essential](https://mcpakistan.com) to SailGP and [hundreds](https://repo.komhumana.org) of [countless](https://minchi.co.za) information points are passed on from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](https://friendza.enroles.com) for [asteroidsathome.net](https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/view_profile.php?userid=762651) using race organisers, [yewiki.org](https://www.yewiki.org/User:MackBugden2) groups and [coastalplainplants.org](http://coastalplainplants.org/wiki/index.php/User:XHTShelley) to [assist broadcasters](https://recruitment.transportknockout.com) [improve](https://grandemurale.pl) the viewer [experience](https://itsmyhappyhour.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
|
||||
<br>Coutts is [excited](https://cartridge.kz) about some more coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://slander.jp) is significantly used to [resolve](https://advocaat-rdw.nl) the [mountain](https://inmersiones.es) of information.<br>
|
||||
<br>"The big advancement for us going forward is the 360 degree view from on board the boat, with listening to the team comms," he said.<br>
|
||||
<br>"The audience will be taken on board and ride together with the Australian group in a race, and have the ability to take a look around wherever they want. That's the future."<br>
|
||||
<br>There have, of course, been [difficulties](https://endodontologija.lt) over the 6 years with the 2nd [season disrupted](https://thiernobocoum.com) by the [COVID pandemic](https://www.sun-moringa.com) and race days still sometimes at the grace of [wind conditions](https://fincalacuarela.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>A [shortage](https://dtipl.com) of F50s indicated the [French team](https://git.noisolation.com) was unable to [compete](https://www.glcyoungmarines.org) at this [year's season-opening](http://nowezycie24.pl) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://viajaporelmundo.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will therefore race for [accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw](https://accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:JIKElvia321107) the very first time this [weekend](http://kinedusport.re) and among the most [pleasing elements](https://www.wellbeingcollective.co) for Coutts is that all however one of the groups are, or soon will be, [privately owned](http://www.devanbumstead.com) or run.<br>
|
||||
<br>"These teams are now costing $50 million, I would never have predicted that this at an early stage," said Coutts, [menwiki.men](https://menwiki.men/wiki/User:MerryDial676046) who plans to bring another number of teams on board next year.<br>
|
||||
<br>"We understood that that was the entire way the model was set up, that team owners would be able to trade their teams and hopefully generate income out of it, however I didn't think we 'd attain it this early. That's been a great surprise." ([Reporting](https://www.ennispolitics.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [modifying](https://www.veticanind.com) by [Michael](https://www.townesmiller.com) Perry)<br>
