SailGP set for Plymouth return
SailGP returns to Plymouth on July 30-31 July and tickets are now on sale.
It will be the third event in the global championship’s 2022/23 calendar and follows a hugely successful SailGP event in the Devon city in 2021, which drew an estimated 27,500 spectators around the Sound and on the water.
Tickets for the 2022 ‘grand prix’, held once again in partnership with Plymouth City Council, will include options to watch from the Hoe, from official spectator boats and from your own boat. There are also team base tours being offered, giving the chance to see the ‘pit lane garages’ where the athletes and shore teams prepare the foiling F50 boats.
As ever with SailGP, there will be a huge array of concurrent local activities in line with the series’ environmental and youth initiatives.
The SailGP Inspire programme aims to give “residents and the area’s youth an exciting agenda to use the power of sport for good while developing sailing as a sustainable sport”.
In 2021, SailGP partnered with the Plymouth-based Ocean Conservation Trust, with an educational programme, a mammal protection plan for the racing
