After nearly three years of waiting, SailGP is finally returning to American shores with eight identical F50s. The flying catamarans will battle for the right to compete in the final race of SailGP Season 2. A $1 million champion will emerge from that final race.

The United States team, led by two-time America’s Cup winner Jimmy Spithill, will be among those seeking a berth in that final race. The American team currently sits in second place in the overall standings — just one point out of the top spot.

The other crewmembers are Andrew Campbell, grinder/tactician; Cooper Dressler and Alex Sinclair, grinders; Paul Campbell-James, wing trimmer; and Daniela Moroz and CJ Perez, referred to on the team list as “athletes.”

Those of us fortunate enough to call these waters home may not even realize how widely regarded San Francisco Bay is as one of the best racing venues in the world. We just take it for granted! Hopefully, the winds of spring will deliver two days of thrilling racing just off the Marina Green, allowing spectators unimpeded views of the competition from the SailGP race village.

Ticket options are available to satisfy various spectator desires. Race-village packages feature beer gardens, tiered seating and on-site commentary. The Red and White Fleet will provide the official on-the-water fan experience.
