SailGP’s return to the idyllic island of Bermuda is fast approaching, with the event marking the 10th stop on Season 4’s 13-event calendar.
Preparations are well underway for the event, which will take place at the new location of Morgan’s Point for the first time, bringing fans closer to the action than ever before.
Tickets to the two days of adrenaline-fueled racing are NOW ON SALE, and can be purchased via SailGP’s website. The whole 10-strong F50 fleet will go head to head across five fleet races before the top three teams proceed into the winner-takes-all Final.
Alongside the racing action, Saturday spectators will be treated to a special performance by soca sensation KES THE BAND which will kick off the post-racing party.
There are plenty of ticket options for fans looking to watch the action-packed entertainment in person, including Waterfront Access situated in the middle of the action at SailGP’s Race Stadium. Elsewhere, the Waterfront Premium offers prime race viewing from an exclusive lounge.
Elsewhere, fans can watch the action from the water through the Bring Your Own Boat and Spectator Boats programs, or go backstage of SailGP’s ‘pit lane garages’ in a team base tour.
Bermuda will offer a chance for three-time champions Australia to redeem themselves after a disastrous Christchurch event, which saw the team docked 12 event points and 8 season points for crashing into a race mark.
The incident, combined with an event win for New Zealand, resulted in the Aussies dropping into second overall for the first time since Chicago at the beginning of the season.
Peter Burling’s New Zealand team meanwhile will be looking for another stellar performance to consolidate their position as season leaders, while pressure will be hotting up on mid-fleet teams to reach the coveted third place position currently held by Spain.
The Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix takes place on May 4/5.
