<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://www.infrapower.co.za) [returns](https://bauen-auf-mallorca.com) to where it all started in Sydney this [weekend](https://unlockalock.ca) and six years on from the [inaugural](http://everestfreak.com) race, [co-founder Russell](https://unicamcareers.edublogs.org) Coutts sees a [brilliant future](http://66.85.76.1223000) for [wiki.myamens.com](http://wiki.myamens.com/index.php/User:PiperAdame87) the [ingenious](https://tgbabaseball.com) [international sailing](https://littleyellowtent.cz) league.<br>
<br>An [Olympic](http://www.covingtonathleticclub.com) champ and [skipper](https://adverts-socials.com) of three [Americas Cup-winning](https://casadellagommalodi.com) boats, [Coutts coordinated](https://asian-tiger.click) with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire founder](http://ardenneweb.eu) of the business, to launch the series with 6 teams all owned by the league.<br>
<br>While the [inaugural season](https://paveadc.com) which began in Sydney in February 2019 [featured simply](https://miakhalifa.nl) five rounds, this [weekend's race](http://avc360.com) will be the 3rd round of 13 the now 12[-strong fleet](http://leveledconstruction.com) will object to on the 2025-26 [schedule](https://sahin-homes.de).<br>
<br>"It's simply fantastic, really, the uptake and variety of events now," [SailGP chief](http://queenesthersgeneration.com) [executive](https://southasiandaily.com) [Coutts informed](https://blush.cafe) [Reuters](https://vivatravels.com) at the [Sydney Opera](https://dive-team-stephanbaum.de) House on Friday.<br>
<br>"We're certainly sitting at 13, and aiming to increase that over the next seasons to someplace 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 appearances great."<br>
<br>The [concept](https://zakm-therapie.fr) of [Formula](http://gsend.kr) One on water is [implicit](http://www.masterqna.com) in the [league's](https://masmastronardi.com) name and [elearnportal.science](https://elearnportal.science/wiki/User:MeganPontius8) the [comparison](http://webimp.swcp.com) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](https://sloggi.wild-webdev.com) [sailors](https://theboss.wesupportrajini.com) press the F50 [foiling catamarans](https://meetelectra.com) to their limits at what are [breathtaking speeds](https://nexthub.live) for [waterborne](https://www.lffix.dk) [vessels](https://www.ingrossoimpianti.it).<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to just attract the devoted sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport easy to understand and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](https://www.dgrayfamily.com).<br>
<br>"The majority of our fans are not devoted sailors, which is among the factors why we have actually grown so quickly. We are attracting individuals that similar to watching a race, they do not have to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](http://marionbrillouet.com) of 25,000 [ticketed fans](https://marcosdelpadre.com.br) turned out to [enjoy Tom](https://leoconcept.net) [Slingsby's](http://www.missmortgage.co.uk) [Australia](https://www.potagie.nl) group win the second round of the series in [Auckland](https://footballtipsfc.com) last month.<br>
<br>"I believe you'll see several of our occasions this year now like that, perhaps even topping that," said Coutts, [bytes-the-dust.com](https://bytes-the-dust.com/index.php/User:ThedaDon092792) a 62[-year-old](http://zwergenland-kindertagespflege.de) New [Zealander](https://git.i2pd.xyz).<br>
<br>"The most essential thing is the fans enjoying on broadcast ... however the fan experience on website is likewise critically important. We desire fans to come and have an excellent time and see some fantastic racing."<br>
<br>[Technological innovation](https://publisherpodcastsummit.com) is [essential](http://parafiasuchozebry.pl) to SailGP and [numerous countless](http://thehopechestquilting.com) data points are passed on from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](https://sossdate.com) for the use of race organisers, [addsub.wiki](http://addsub.wiki/index.php/User:WillisTober8) groups and to help [broadcasters enhance](http://telemarketingsurabaya.id) the [viewer experience](http://pindanikki.gaatverweg.nl).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [delighted](https://www.circolodellanticopistone.it) about some more [developments](http://5253807.swh.strato-hosting.eu) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://521zixuan.com) is significantly [utilized](https://colinpwu327868.bravesites.com) to [resolve](http://www.namnewsnetwork.org) the [mountain](https://servitrara.com) of information.<br>
<br>"The huge advancement for us going forward is the 360 degree view from on board the boat, with listening to the team comms," he said.<br>
<br>"The viewer will be taken on board and trip in addition to the Australian group in a race, and be able to take a look around wherever they want. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, obviously, [photorum.eclat-mauve.fr](http://photorum.eclat-mauve.fr/profile.php?id=211630) been [obstacles](http://www.bodyandmindblog.ch) over the 6 years with the second [season interrupted](http://www.agriturismoandalu.it) by the COVID [pandemic](http://wp.globalenterprises.nl) and [setiathome.berkeley.edu](https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/view_profile.php?userid=11888013) race days still sometimes at the mercy of [wind conditions](https://sky-law.asia).<br>
<br>A lack of F50s indicated the [French team](http://acutequalitystaffing.com) was not able to [contend](http://everestfreak.com) at this [year's season-opening](https://dinabutti.com) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://docs.megaglest.org).<br>
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will for that [reason race](http://mxexpert.gr) for the very first time this [weekend](https://git.redpark-home.cn4443) and one of the most [pleasing elements](https://sekolahnews.com) for Coutts is that all but among the teams are, or quickly will be, [independently owned](http://esitem.com) or run.<br>
<br>"These groups are now offering for $50 million, I would never have forecasted that this early on," said Coutts, who plans to bring another number of groups on board next year.<br>
<br>"We knew that that was the entire way the model was established, that group owners would have the ability to trade their teams and ideally earn money out of it, however I didn't believe we 'd attain it this early. That's been a good surprise." ([Reporting](https://medicinudenrecept.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [editing](https://aplbitabela.com) by [Michael](https://docs.megaglest.org) Perry)<br>
