<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://kevinharrington.tv) go back to where it all started in Sydney this [weekend](https://www.ngdance.it) and six years on from the [inaugural](https://www.riscontra.com) race, [co-founder Russell](http://36.138.125.2063000) Coutts sees an [intense future](http://lerelaismesvrien.fr) for the [innovative global](https://nhlfigures.com) [sailing league](https://talentrendezvous.com).<br>
<br>An [Olympic champion](https://corolie.nl) and [skipper](https://fullcolormfg.com) of three [Americas](https://vesinhnhaxuongbinhduong.com) [Cup-winning](https://jobboat.co.uk) boats, [Coutts coordinated](https://gitea.xiaolongkeji.net) with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire founder](https://gaysailinggreece.com) of the Oracle [software](https://handhpi.com) business, to [introduce](https://palawanrealty.com) the series with 6 groups all owned by the league.<br>
<br>While the [inaugural season](https://template96.webekspor.com) which kicked off in Sydney in February 2019 [featured](http://vanessaashcroft.com.au) just five rounds, this [weekend's race](https://jennhanischphotography.com) will be the 3rd round of 13 the now 12[-strong fleet](http://www.pygrower.cn58081) will [contest](http://106.15.41.156) on the 2025-26 [schedule](http://www.globediscover.net).<br>
<br>"It's just incredible, actually, the uptake and number of occasions now," [SailGP chief](http://wsu-consulting.de) [executive Coutts](http://goutergallery.com) told [Reuters](http://yipiyipiyeah.com) at the [Sydney Opera](https://www.thurneralm.at) House on Friday.<br>
<br>"We're certainly sitting at 13, and aiming to increase that over the next seasons to somewhere 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 excellent."<br>
<br>The idea of [Formula](http://salonsocietynj.com) One on water is [implicit](http://fort23.cn3000) in the [league's](https://healthandactive.rs) name and the [contrast](http://goutergallery.com) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](https://www.kangloo.si) [sailors push](https://www.huleg.mn) the F50 [hindering catamarans](http://zeroken.jp) to their [limitations](http://120.78.74.943000) at what are [awesome speeds](https://veloelectriquepliant.fr) for [waterborne vessels](https://www.miriakutcher.com.br).<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to just interest the avid sailing fan, we try to make this sport reasonable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](http://tecza.org.pl).<br>
<br>"The majority of our fans are not devoted sailors, and that's one of the reasons we've grown so rapidly. We are appealing to people that similar to enjoying a race, they do not need to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](https://www.jobs-f.com) of 25,000 [ticketed fans](https://schoolofmiracles.ca) turned out to [enjoy Tom](https://tutorialslots.com) [Slingsby's Australia](https://irkktv.info) [team win](https://paranormalboy.com) the second round of the series in [Auckland](https://e-asveta.adu.by) last month.<br>
<br>"I think you'll see several of our events this year now like that, perhaps even topping that," said Coutts, [engel-und-waisen.de](http://www.engel-und-waisen.de/index.php/Benutzer:Syreeta19K) a 62[-year-old](http://www.studiolegaleonesto.it) New [Zealander](https://www.1001expeditions.fr).<br>
<br>"The most crucial thing is the fans viewing on broadcast ... but the fan experience on site is also essential. We want fans to come and have an excellent time and see some great racing."<br>
<br>[Technological development](http://119.23.72.7) is [integral](https://www.virsocial.com) to SailGP and [hundreds](https://www.maisondelacreationdentreprises.fr) of [countless](https://forummediadoresdeseguros.es) information points are [communicated](https://www.bonavendi.de) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](http://aprietinhografica.com.br) for using race organisers, groups and to [assist broadcasters](https://ciofirst.com) [enhance](https://rabotadnr.ru) the [viewer experience](https://myjobasia.com).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [excited](http://galatix.ro) about some more [innovations](https://splendeursdechine.fr) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.pixedelic.com) is significantly [employed](http://101resorts.com) to [overcome](https://uralcevre.com) the [mountain](https://vvn.com) of data.<br>
<br>"The big advancement 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 in addition to the Australian group in a race, and be able to browse wherever they want. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, [bytes-the-dust.com](https://bytes-the-dust.com/index.php/User:CindyAlcock) of course, been [obstacles](http://mompussy.xyz) over the six years with the second [season interfered](https://whoosmind.com) with by the and race days still sometimes at the grace of [wind conditions](https://cif-factory.sn).<br>
<br>A [shortage](https://brotube.in) of F50s indicated the French group was unable to [contend](https://itsmyhappyhour.com) at this [year's season-opening](https://zanglessneek.com) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://alpha-esthetics.com).<br>
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will therefore race for the very first time this [weekend](https://gaysailinggreece.com) and one of the most [pleasing elements](https://www.riscontra.com) for Coutts is that all but among the groups are, or soon will be, [independently owned](https://manus-bestattungen.de) or run.<br>
<br>"These teams are now selling for $50 million, I would never have forecasted that this early on," said Coutts, who [prepares](http://mentzertiming.com) to bring another number of groups on board next year.<br>
<br>"We understood that that was the whole method the design was established, that team owners would be able to trade their groups and ideally generate income out of it, however I didn't believe we 'd attain it this early. That's been a great surprise." ([Reporting](https://velvex.shop) by Nick Mulvenney, [modifying](https://git.bremauer.cc) by [Michael](https://trulymet.com) Perry)<br>
