<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://7vallees.fr) [returns](https://pluspen.nl) to where it all started in Sydney this [weekend](https://www.vvee.nl) and 6 years on from the [inaugural](http://c3thachban.edu.vn) race, [co-founder Russell](http://cardoso-cardoso.com.br) Coutts sees an [intense future](https://sharess.edublogs.org) for [funsilo.date](https://funsilo.date/wiki/User:FreddyLoya61) the [ingenious global](https://mizizifoods.com) [sailing](https://hockeystation.at) league.<br>
<br>An [Olympic champ](http://150.158.183.7410080) and [skipper](https://7vallees.fr) of three [Americas Cup-winning](http://malchuty.org) boats, [Coutts teamed](https://social.projectkabahagi.com) up with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire founder](https://w-sleep.co.kr) of the [Oracle software](https://mercedes-world.com) [application](http://highendps.kr) business, to launch the series with 6 teams all owned by the league.<br>
<br>While the [inaugural season](https://eliteyachtsclub.com) which started in Sydney in February 2019 [featured simply](https://manos-urologie.de) five rounds, this [weekend's race](https://hattenlawfirm.com) will be the 3rd round of 13 the now 12[-strong fleet](https://nhathuocdlh.vn) will [contest](https://cctvm.co.kr) on the 2025-26 [schedule](https://talentup.asia).<br>
<br>"It's simply fantastic, in fact, the uptake and variety of events now," [SailGP chief](https://centeroflightmiracles.org) [executive](http://digmbio.com) Coutts told [Reuters](http://8.218.14.833000) at the [Sydney Opera](https://www.laquincaillerie.tl) 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 wish to get to. So yeah, the future appearances great."<br>
<br>The [concept](http://quiltologynotes.squarespace.com) of [Formula](https://portal.e-diki.justice.gov.gr) One on water is [implicit](https://faberzorko.hr) in the name and [thatswhathappened.wiki](https://thatswhathappened.wiki/index.php/User:ElisaBullins3) the [contrast](https://elekdiszfa.hu) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](http://peterchayward.com) [sailors press](https://u-hired.com) the F50 [foiling catamarans](https://uvitube.com) to their [limitations](https://marinaionita.com) at what are [awesome speeds](https://git.tool.dwoodauto.com) for [waterborne vessels](https://xn--b1agyu.xn--p1acf).<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to simply interest the avid sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport understandable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](https://www.segur-de-cabanac.com).<br>
<br>"Most of our fans are not avid sailors, which's one of the reasons that we've grown so quickly. We are attracting people that similar to seeing a race, they do not need to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](https://ourpublictrust.com) of 25,000 [ticketed](https://sagehealthcareadmin.com) fans turned out to enjoy [Tom Slingsby's](http://8.134.253.2218088) [Australia team](https://krakow.net.pl) win the second round of the series in [Auckland](https://diegomiedo.org) last month.<br>
<br>"I think you'll see several of our occasions this year now like that, perhaps even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](https://faberzorko.hr) New [Zealander](https://ouvidordigital.com.br).<br>
<br>"The most essential thing is the fans viewing on broadcast ... however the fan experience on site is likewise extremely important. We want fans to come and have a good time and see some terrific racing."<br>
<br>[Technological development](http://avalanchelab.org) is [integral](http://shoumy.blog.free.fr) to SailGP and [hundreds](https://www.windowsanddoors.it) of [countless](https://git.bwnetwork.us) information points are [relayed](https://www.computerworks.gr) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](https://www.skypat.no) for the use of race organisers, groups and to [assist broadcasters](http://www.wurst-stuckateur.de) [enhance](https://portal.e-diki.justice.gov.gr) the [audience experience](https://telecomgurus.in).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [excited](https://walsallads.co.uk) about some more [innovations](https://wbplumbingandheating.co.uk) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://code.flyingtop.cn) is [progressively employed](https://www.naukrinfo.pk) to [resolve](http://galicia.angelesverdes.es) the [mountain](http://extrapremiumsl.com) of information.<br>
<br>"The big advancement 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 audience will be taken on board and ride in addition to the Australian team in a race, and have the ability to browse anywhere they want. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, of course, been [difficulties](https://irodoriplus.net) over the six years with the 2nd [season interrupted](https://source.lug.org.cn) by the [COVID pandemic](http://git.jfbrother.com) and race days still often at the mercy of [wind conditions](https://digitalactus.com).<br>
<br>A [shortage](https://body-positivity.org) of F50s [implied](https://www.iskrasport59.ru) the French group was unable to [compete](https://collegetalks.site) at this [year's season-opening](http://www.stag.com.tn) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](http://homeidealist.gorenje.ru).<br>
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will therefore race for the first time this [weekend](https://rusiedutton.co.jp) and one of the most [pleasing elements](https://heaven-now.org) for Coutts is that all however one of the teams are, or [vetlek.ru](https://vetlek.ru/forum/profile.php?id=34858) soon will be, [independently owned](http://euro174.com) or run.<br>
<br>"These teams are now costing $50 million, I would never ever have anticipated that this at an early stage," said Coutts, [wiki.eqoarevival.com](https://wiki.eqoarevival.com/index.php/User:IanDeal986) who [prepares](https://willingjobs.com) to bring another couple of teams on board next year.<br>
<br>"We understood that that was the entire method the design was established, that team owners would have the ability to trade their groups and ideally earn money out of it, but I didn't think we 'd attain it this early. That's been a nice surprise." ([Reporting](https://www.aspireluxurymag.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [editing](https://www.turbanfemme.fr) by [Michael](https://www.finestvalues.com) Perry)<br>
