The countdown to this weekend’s Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas has begun, with teams posting their full crew-line ups.
Key changes include former U.S. wing trimmer Paul Campbell-James joining the Canada SailGP Team, while new U.S. driver Taylor Canfield will hit the water alongside his as-yet unannounced squad.
Elsewhere, Jimmy Spithill subs in for Australia driver Tom Slingsby, who is out on paternity leave. Over on the French F50, Manon Audinet returns from maternity leave to race alongside her partner and France’s flight controller Jason Saunders.
