Skippers Guide SailGP – paper version

Get ready for a racing showdown

On 20 and 21 September, the SailGP F50s will race on the fresh water of Lake Geneva. The Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix Geneva is the result of a succession of visionary ideas. It started with flying boats and led to a fleet of high-octane catamarans racing right in the epicentre of the lakeside city. By joining the SailGP circuit, Geneva is elevating its profile to new heights. It is one of the top international sailing venues. It also proudly celebrates the sons and daughters of the lake: Sébastien, Maud, Arnaud, Bryan and Arno. These global ambassadors began their journey in Lake Geneva’s sailing schools, where they first wore through their all-weather gear. They have carried this date close to their hearts for months. But the global elite competing with them will show no mercy. We can anticipate fierce racing. Translated into English, this magazine aims to offer insights into the race. It showcases the teams, offers a platform for the organisers, and guides
spectators as they learn about this innovative circuit. Six years ago, SailGP did not exist. Today, it is redefining sailing worldwide.
Enjoy the read and the show!
