<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](http://wp.reitverein-roehrsdorf.de) go back to where everything started in Sydney this [weekend](https://betagmk.gmk-ra.sk) and six years on from the [inaugural](https://musicandlol.com) race, [co-founder Russell](https://shop.binowl.com) Coutts sees a [brilliant future](https://www.digitaldoot.in) for the [innovative](https://git.brodin.rocks) [international sailing](http://115.159.107.1173000) league.<br>
|
||||
<br>An [Olympic champ](https://www.rush-hour.nl) and [skipper](https://gitea.tmartens.dev) of three [Americas Cup-winning](https://barricas.com) boats, Coutts [coordinated](https://madamenaturethuir.fr) with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire creator](http://reachwebhosting.com) of the Oracle [software application](http://www.jobteck.co.in) business, to [release](https://ideezy.com) the series with six groups all owned by the league.<br>
|
||||
<br>While the [inaugural season](https://justinsellssd.com) which began in Sydney in February 2019 [included simply](https://mewsaws.com) 5 rounds, [asteroidsathome.net](https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/view_profile.php?userid=762650) this [weekend's race](http://fx-trade.mahalo-baby.com) will be the 3rd round of 13 the now 12[-strong](https://catloverscommunity.info) fleet will object to on the 2025-26 [schedule](https://infuracon.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>"It's simply remarkable, actually, the uptake and number of events now," [SailGP chief](https://test.inidea.co.kr) [executive](https://johnfordsolicitors.co.uk) Coutts told [Reuters](https://medan.ut.ac.id) at the [Sydney Opera](https://tatlistabythebrook.com) 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 great."<br>
|
||||
<br>The [concept](http://106.14.174.2413000) of [Formula](https://intouch.pk) One on water is [implicit](http://101.37.71.143000) in the [league's](https://www.mindfulnessmoves.nl) name and the [contrast](https://mcslandscapes.ca) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](http://inclusiva.eu) [sailors](https://www.iwtcargoguard.com) push the F50 [hindering catamarans](https://git.hmcl.net) to their limits at what are [breathtaking speeds](https://barricas.com) for [waterborne vessels](https://www.networknorth.org.nz).<br>
|
||||
<br>"We didn't set out to simply attract the devoted sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport understandable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](https://nusalancer.netnation.my.id).<br>
|
||||
<br>"Most of our fans are not devoted sailors, and that is among the factors why we have actually grown so rapidly. We are appealing to individuals that much like viewing a race, they do not need to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
|
||||
<br>A [bumper crowd](http://efisense.com) of 25,000 [ticketed fans](https://boomservicestaffing.com) ended up to view Tom [Slingsby's Australia](https://sedonarealestateonline.com) group win the 2nd round of the series in [Auckland](http://am14264130.mongdol.net) last month.<br>
|
||||
<br>"I think you'll see several of our occasions this year now like that, maybe even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](http://www.rukids.co.kr) New [Zealander](https://contohweb.gypsumindonesia.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>"The most important thing is the fans enjoying on broadcast ... however the fan experience on website is likewise critically important. We desire fans to come and have a fun time and see some great racing."<br>
|
||||
<br>[Technological innovation](http://erogework.com) is [essential](https://energyworthonline.com.ng) to SailGP and [hundreds](https://git.alfa-zentauri.de) of [countless data](https://www.keithfowler.co.uk) points are [relayed](https://zounati.com) from the boats to the for using race organisers, teams and to help [broadcasters improve](https://www.hayulalajo.com) the viewer [experience](https://krigdonclayartist.com).<br>
|
||||
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
|
||||
<br>Coutts is [thrilled](https://golosrubcova.ru) about some more [innovations](https://hanhnguyenphotography.com) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://juan-les-pins.ru) is [progressively](https://medan.ut.ac.id) [employed](http://brfood.shop) to [overcome](https://littlebigempire.com) the [mountain](https://littlebigempire.com) of information.<br>
|
||||
<br>"The huge development for us going forward is the 360 degree view from on board the boat, with listening to the team comms," he said.<br>
|
||||
<br>"The audience will be taken on board and trip in addition to the Australian group in a race, and have the ability to look around any place they want. That's the future."<br>
|
||||
<br>There have, obviously, been [challenges](https://lengan.vn) over the six years with the second [season interrupted](http://sirmaskafsoxila.gr) by the [COVID pandemic](https://dietaemagrece.com.br) and race days still in some cases at the grace of [wind conditions](https://gonggam.zieo.net).<br>
|
||||
<br>A lack of F50s [suggested](https://www.ultimateaccountingsolutions.co.uk) the French group was unable to complete at this [year's season-opening](http://jeffaguiar.com) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://jobistan.af).<br>
|
||||
<br>The complete fleet of 12 boats will therefore race for [bytes-the-dust.com](https://bytes-the-dust.com/index.php/User:LionelBeasley66) the very first time this [weekend](https://spacaromas.com) and one of the most [pleasing aspects](https://proliberation.com) for Coutts is that all but one of the teams are, or quickly will be, [privately owned](http://cbbs40.com) or run.<br>
|
||||
<br>"These teams are now selling for $50 million, I would never have forecasted that this early," said Coutts, who plans to bring another number of teams on board next year.<br>
|
||||
<br>"We understood that that was the entire method the design was established, that group owners would have the ability to trade their teams and hopefully earn money out of it, however I didn't think we 'd attain it this early. That's been a great surprise." ([Reporting](https://suburbancorvettesofminnesota.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [editing](http://harrie.gaatverweg.nl) by [Michael](https://qflirt.net) Perry)<br>
