Justin Chisholm and Magnus Wheatley talk through the action from the two-day Canadian SailGP Grand Prix in Halifax, Nova Scotia – which saw the league’s full thirteen-boat contingent race in split fleets for the first time in a full regatta.
Chilly temperatures, 13 boats competing, a rule change to mandate crews keep a better lookout while racing, the return of the Black Foils under new ownership – it’s all happening this weekend at the Halifax SailGP.
From sailing journalists everywhere...
Magnus Wheatley and I try to make sense of the crazy goings on in New York at the sixth event of SailGP Season 6 in New York City last weekend.
With only four teams able to race and then a match race between two for the opening day in the Big Apple, the New York stage of SailGP opened with chaos and uncertainty for the spectators and teams alike.
No practice day on Friday, three boats racing on Saturday, a three-boat pile-up on Sunday – SailGP’s Big Apple weekend did not go according to plan. Despite all the chaos, season-leaders the Bonds Flying Roos took their third consecutive win after a superb battle with Emirates Team GBR in the final.
The fifth event of SailGP Season 6 in Bermuda last weekend provided the conditions SailGP needed to restore order after a chaotic start to the year.
The Rolex SailGP Championship returns to Bermuda this weekend for the fifth stop of the 2026 season, with the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix promising some of the most compelling racing of the year as the leaderboard begins to take real shape.
Sébastien Schneiter’s Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP team has not got off to a stellar start in Season 6. Four events in, they're at the bottom of the season leaderboard with just a single point to show for their efforts. I checked in with Schneiter to find out how they plan to turn things around.
I sit down with fellow British sailing pundit Magnus Wheatley to mull over this weekend's first-ever SailGP regatta in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Tom Slingsby's Australian BONDS Flying Roos made a spectacular return to winning form.
