SailGP: World’s Fastest Boat Race Comes to SF | May 4-5

Submitted by the Event Organizer

SailGP is charting a new, exciting course for the sport of sailing. In this global, annual sports championship, national teams from Australia, China, France, Great Britain, Japan and the United States battle in some of the world’s most iconic harbors, each sailing in identical supercharged F50 catamarans, the newest race boat engineered to reach electrifying speeds.

San Francisco SailGP will take place from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., just off the Marina Yacht Club Peninsula, with the Golden Gate Bridge serving as a stunning backdrop for the fastest on-water racing the world has ever seen.

SailGP will be coming to San Francisco on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, with races occurring in the heart of San Francisco Bay, between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.

Where to Watch?

The San Francisco SailGP Race Village will be located at the Marina Yacht Club Peninsula and will be the race day hub, with access to big screens showing live race coverage and commentary. According to the SF Chamber of Commerce, the Race Village is free to the public, but fans can purchase tickets at SailGP.com/SanFrancisco for front-row viewing from the SailGP Grandstand or for on-water opportunities to take in the action.

The Race Village is open starting at 10am and is located just east of Crissy Field and just north/east of Little Marina Green

What will the race event in San Francisco look like?

During the San Francisco grand prix, the U.S. SailGP Team will make its stateside debut, with three races with all six boats on Saturday, May 4 and two on Sunday, May 5. Following the second fleet race on Sunday, the top two teams will face off in a match race finale to determine the overall event winner.

Racing here will push these sailors to their limits, as they are challenged by the Bay’s famous sea breezes and strong tidal flows.
