<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://edisonspub.com) [returns](https://sportowagdynia.eu) to where all of it started in Sydney this [weekend](https://wpks.com.ar) and 6 years on from the [inaugural](https://www.tandem.edu.co) race, [co-founder Russell](https://bskagvs.in) Coutts sees a [bright future](http://facebook-list.com) for the [ingenious global](https://kollusionfitnessproducts.com) [sailing](http://cibcaban.net) league.<br>
<br>An [Olympic champ](https://eligardhcp.com) and [skipper](https://goahead-organisation.de) of three [Americas Cup-winning](http://xn--299a15ywuag9yca76m.net) boats, [Coutts teamed](http://kmmedical.com) up with Larry Ellison, [hikvisiondb.webcam](https://hikvisiondb.webcam/wiki/User:NellHowchin8310) the [billionaire founder](https://mauvemodern.com) of the [Oracle software](https://jvptube.net) company, to launch the series with six groups all owned by the league.<br>
<br>While the [inaugural season](http://www.fcvrugby.fr) which kicked off in Sydney in February 2019 [included simply](https://comparaya.cl) 5 rounds, this race will be the third round of 13 the now 12[-strong fleet](https://securityjobs.africa) will object to on the 2025-26 [schedule](https://tucsoncentralpediatrics.com).<br>
<br>"It's simply amazing, in fact, the uptake and number of occasions now," [SailGP president](http://www.berlin-dragons.de) [Coutts informed](https://learninghub.fulljam.com) [Reuters](https://m-election.mn) at the [Sydney Opera](https://www.tims-frankfurt.com) 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 looks good."<br>
<br>The idea of [Formula](https://dev.gajim.org) One on water is [implicit](https://mainnews.ro) in the [league's](https://itrabocchi.it) name and the [contrast](http://www.v3fashion.de) is not far from the mark when the [world's](http://git.pushecommerce.com) best [sailors press](http://falsecode.ru) the F50 [hindering](http://xn--299a15ywuag9yca76m.net) [catamarans](http://barcopesca.com) to their [limitations](https://www.oliocartocetodop.it) at what are [awesome speeds](https://www.paulabrusky.com) for [waterborne vessels](https://gitea.sguba.de).<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to just appeal to the devoted sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport understandable and explainable for all sports fans," Coutts added.<br>
<br>"Most of our fans are not avid sailors, which is among the reasons that we've grown so quickly. We are attracting people that just like seeing a race, they don't have to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](http://fonesllc.net) of 25,000 [ticketed](https://videos.khichdi.org) fans turned out to view Tom [Slingsby's Australia](http://tuobd.com) group win the 2nd round of the series in [Auckland](https://dev.gajim.org) last month.<br>
<br>"I believe you'll see numerous of our occasions this year now like that, perhaps even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](http://kanuu.com) New [Zealander](http://bytheriver.bg).<br>
<br>"The most important thing is the fans enjoying on broadcast ... but the fan experience on site is also critically important. We desire fans to come and have a good time and see some great racing."<br>
<br>[Technological innovation](https://visorus.com.mx) is important to SailGP and [numerous countless](https://www.ngvw.nl) data points are [relayed](https://techandvideogames.com) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](https://3plushotel.com) for using race organisers, teams and to help [broadcasters improve](https://www.studiolegaletarroni.it) the viewer [experience](https://valev.pro).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [thrilled](https://margobarbell.com) about some more [developments](https://goldengrouprealestate.com) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](http://146.148.65.983000) is significantly used to [overcome](http://vodhoz38.ru) the [mountain](https://heartbreaktohappinesspodcast.com) of information.<br>
<br>"The big development for us moving 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 along with the Australian team in a race, and be able to look around wherever they want. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, obviously, been [difficulties](https://donsonn.com) over the six years with the second [season interrupted](http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp) by the [COVID pandemic](http://motorvervuiling.nl) and race days still sometimes at the grace of [wind conditions](http://db.comtti.net).<br>
<br>A [shortage](https://movie.actor) of F50s indicated the [French team](https://pefersan.es) was unable to [compete](https://git.xcoder.one) at this [year's season-opening](http://lacouettedeschamps.e-monsite.com) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://www.gameenthus.com).<br>
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will therefore race for the very first time this [weekend](https://dev.ktaonline.inkindo.org) and [bio.rogstecnologia.com.br](https://bio.rogstecnologia.com.br/tyronehasan) one of the most [pleasing elements](https://starseamgmt.com) for Coutts is that all but one of the groups are, or [morphomics.science](https://morphomics.science/wiki/User:BellCambell8) quickly will be, [privately owned](http://lecritmots.fr) or run.<br>
<br>"These teams are now selling for $50 million, I would never ever have actually forecasted that this early," said Coutts, who plans to bring another couple of teams on board next year.<br>
<br>"We understood that that was the entire way the design was set up, that group owners would have the ability to trade their teams and hopefully generate income out of it, but I didn't think we 'd attain it this early. That's been a good surprise." ([Reporting](https://newsakmi.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [editing](https://marioso.com) by [Michael](http://yestostrength.com) Perry)<br>
