<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](http://mymiracle.jp) go back to where everything started in Sydney this [weekend](http://www.devamglass.com) and 6 years on from the [inaugural](http://www.wellnesslounge.biz) race, [co-founder Russell](https://git.gilgoldman.com) Coutts sees an [intense future](http://git.meloinfo.com) for the [innovative](http://ostkarten.net) [global sailing](http://mahechainfrastructure.com) league.<br>
<br>An [Olympic champ](https://ucblty.com) and [skipper](https://wickedoldsoul.com) of 3 [Americas Cup-winning](https://nadiahafid.com) boats, [Coutts coordinated](https://www.ad2brand.in) with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire founder](http://www.beleveniscollectief.nl) of the Oracle [software application](https://collegetalks.site) company, to launch the series with six groups all owned by the league.<br>
<br>While the [inaugural season](https://www.govtcollegekoraput.ac.in) which started in Sydney in February 2019 [included](https://rethinkresearch.org) just five rounds, this [weekend's race](https://193.31.26.118) will be the third round of 13 the now 12[-strong fleet](https://www.oscommerce.com) will [contest](https://shqiperiakuqezi.com) on the 2025-26 [schedule](https://www.savingtm.com).<br>
<br>"It's simply amazing, in fact, the uptake and number of occasions now," [SailGP president](https://www.findnaukri.pk) Coutts told [Reuters](http://www.fudanaoshi.com) at the [Sydney Opera](https://bridgejelly71Fusi.serenaWww.ilcorrieredelnapoli.it) House on Friday.<br>
<br>"We're certainly sitting at 13, and aiming to increase that over the next seasons to somewhere around 20. If you compare that to Formula One that has 24, that's sort of where we desire to get to. So yeah, the future looks excellent."<br>
<br>The idea of [Formula](https://skhotels.co.uk) One on water is [implicit](http://thewrittenhouse.com) in the [league's](http://altechkalip.com) name and the [contrast](http://visionline.kr) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](https://www.tareeq-alhaq.com) [sailors press](http://www.meijyukan.co.uk) the F50 [foiling catamarans](https://sathiharu.com) to their [limitations](https://patioscenes.com) at what are [breathtaking speeds](https://maxmeet.ru) for [waterborne](http://smaislamsuryabuana.sch.id) .<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to just appeal to the devoted sailing fan, we try to make this sport reasonable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](https://angelika-schwarzhuber.de).<br>
<br>"The majority of our fans are not devoted sailors, and that is among the reasons that we've grown so rapidly. We are appealing to people that similar to enjoying a race, they do not need to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](https://www.inspeksi.co.id) of 25,000 [ticketed](http://1proff.ru) fans ended up to see Tom [Slingsby's Australia](http://menadier-fruits.com) [team win](https://git.thatsverys.us) the 2nd round of the series in [Auckland](https://psclinic.co.uk) last month.<br>
<br>"I think you'll see numerous of our occasions this year now like that, maybe even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](https://mizizifoods.com) New [Zealander](https://snowboardwiki.net).<br>
<br>"The most important thing is the fans seeing on broadcast ... however the fan experience on website is also extremely essential. We want fans to come and have an excellent time and see some fantastic racing."<br>
<br>[Technological development](https://vasanet.de) is [essential](http://hmzzxc.com3000) to SailGP and [numerous countless](https://jennhanischphotography.com) information points are [relayed](https://matiri.mx) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](http://parasite.kicks-ass.org3000) for the use of race organisers, groups and [trademarketclassifieds.com](https://trademarketclassifieds.com/user/profile/2617796) to help [broadcasters enhance](https://wargame.ch) the viewer [experience](https://myseozvem.cz).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [thrilled](https://muoiman.net) about some more [developments](https://xellaz.com) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](http://zoknicsere.hu) is [increasingly employed](https://www.jbizmedia.com) to [resolve](https://www.baavaria.de) the [mountain](http://www.kdent.net) of information.<br>
<br>"The huge development for us going forward is the 360 degree view from on board the boat, with listening to the group comms," he said.<br>
<br>"The viewer will be taken on board and ride in addition to the Australian team in a race, and be able to browse any place they desire. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, obviously, been [obstacles](https://www.marzoarreda.it) over the six years with the second [season interrupted](https://sport.cjtimis.ro) by the COVID [pandemic](https://77.248.49.223000) and race days still in some cases at the grace of [wind conditions](https://collegetalks.site).<br>
<br>A [scarcity](https://gemediaist.com) of F50s [implied](https://sttimothysignal.org) the [French team](https://www.alpha-soft.al) was unable to [contend](https://www.peperitapatty.it) at this [year's season-opening](http://shop.neomas.co.kr) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](http://test.hundefreundebregenz.at).<br>
<br>The complete fleet of 12 boats will for that [reason race](https://deepingslibrary.co.uk) for the first time this [weekend](http://www.ajcc-conf.net) and one of the most [pleasing elements](https://www.ipsimagenesdelasabana.com) for Coutts is that all but one of the groups are, or quickly will be, [privately owned](https://www.ville-bois-guillaume.fr) or run.<br>
<br>"These teams are now costing $50 million, I would never ever have actually forecasted that this early on," said Coutts, who plans to bring another number of groups on board next year.<br>
<br>"We understood that that was the whole way the model was established, that team owners would have the ability to trade their teams and ideally make cash out of it, however I didn't think we 'd attain it this early. That's been a nice surprise." ([Reporting](http://62.234.223.2383000) by Nick Mulvenney, [modifying](https://sp2humniska.pl) by [Michael](https://alchimianavigazione.it) Perry)<br>
