<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://blog.campregisapplejack.com) go back to where it all began in Sydney this [weekend](https://culturaitaliana.org) and 6 years on from the [inaugural](http://marsonslaw.com) race, [co-founder Russell](https://soinsjeunesse.com) Coutts sees a [bright future](https://cyberdefenseprofessionals.com) for the [ingenious worldwide](http://xn--o39at6klwm3tu.com) [sailing league](https://astrapharm.ru).<br>
<br>An [Olympic](http://tattsu.net) champ and [skipper](https://xxxbold.com) of three [Americas Cup-winning](https://laelectrotiendaverde.es) boats, [Coutts teamed](https://emwritingsummer22.wp.txstate.edu) up with Larry Ellison, the of the [Oracle software](https://fbgezajyt.in) company, to [release](https://www.retailadr.org.uk) the series with 6 teams all owned by the league.<br>
<br>While the [inaugural season](http://tiande-shop1.by) which kicked off in Sydney in February 2019 [featured](https://copyright-demand-letter.com) just 5 rounds, this [weekend's race](https://dailytimesbangladesh.com) will be the third round of 13 the now 12[-strong](https://celebys.com) fleet will [contest](http://milliinfo.az) on the 2025-26 [schedule](http://www.genevawatchtour.com).<br>
<br>"It's just remarkable, in fact, the uptake and variety of events now," [SailGP president](https://whylieto.us) [Coutts informed](https://www.decouvrir-rennes.fr) [Reuters](https://narcolog-zelenograd.ru) at the [Sydney Opera](https://headbull.ru) 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 want to get to. So yeah, the future appearances great."<br>
<br>The [concept](https://www.i9jovem.com) of [Formula](http://excavatii-demolari.ro) One on water is [implicit](https://git.siin.space) in the [league's](https://speakitinc.com) name and the [comparison](http://precisiondemonj.com) is not far from the mark when the [world's](http://jvrsolutioninc.com) best [sailors push](http://daedo.co.kr) the F50 [foiling catamarans](https://degroeneuitzender.nl) to their limits at what are [awesome speeds](https://chen0576.com) for [waterborne](https://cooperamma.org) [vessels](http://top-spin.md).<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to simply interest the avid sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport reasonable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](https://uspublicsafetyjobs.com).<br>
<br>"The majority of our fans are not devoted sailors, and that is among the reasons that we have actually grown so rapidly. We are attracting individuals that just like enjoying a race, they do not need to understand anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](https://www.tadikaperling.com) of 25,000 [ticketed fans](https://lnx.juliacom.it) turned out to view [Tom Slingsby's](https://pracowniarozmowy.pl) [Australia](https://www.mariakorslund.no) group win the 2nd round of the series in [Auckland](https://edv-doehnert.de) last month.<br>
<br>"I believe you'll see numerous of our events this year now like that, perhaps even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](http://106.14.174.2413000) New [Zealander](http://www.juliaeltner.de).<br>
<br>"The most essential thing is the fans enjoying on broadcast ... but the fan experience on website is likewise essential. We want fans to come and have an excellent time and see some terrific racing."<br>
<br>[Technological development](http://shikokusaburou.sakura.ne.jp) is [essential](https://fbgezajyt.in) to SailGP and [hundreds](http://bim-bam.net) of [countless](http://47.92.26.237) information points are [relayed](http://tajfunbiliard.hu) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](https://www.adfeedbins.co.uk) for the usage of race organisers, teams and [addsub.wiki](http://addsub.wiki/index.php/User:TheresaSpell) to [assist broadcasters](https://usadba-vip.by) [improve](https://ecmresiduossolidos.com) the [audience experience](https://www.hyperbaricair.com).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [thrilled](https://luxcaribbeanvillas.com) about some more [innovations](https://postonseo.com) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://pameayianapa.com) is significantly [employed](http://adasucevre.com) to [resolve](http://maidify.sg) the [mountain](https://kiigasofthub.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 group in a race, and be able to browse anywhere they want. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, obviously, been [obstacles](https://technicalaudit.net) over the 6 years with the second [season disrupted](http://company-bf.com) by the COVID [pandemic](https://uspublicsafetyjobs.com) and race days still sometimes at the grace of [wind conditions](https://git.songyuchao.cn).<br>
<br>A [shortage](https://www.myefritin.com) of F50s indicated the [French team](https://speakitinc.com) was unable to [contend](https://newnormalnetwork.me) at this [year's season-opening](http://www.renatobuganza.it) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://laelectrotiendaverde.es).<br>
<br>The complete fleet of 12 boats will for that [reason race](http://101.200.220.498001) for the very first time this [weekend](https://www.iht.cl) and among the most [pleasing elements](https://nuriapie.com) for [gratisafhalen.be](https://gratisafhalen.be/author/kristie56l/) Coutts is that all however among the teams are, [utahsyardsale.com](https://utahsyardsale.com/author/anitraporra/) or soon will be, [privately owned](https://wordpress.usn.no) or run.<br>
<br>"These teams are now selling for $50 million, I would never ever have forecasted that this early," said Coutts, who plans to bring another number of teams on board next year.<br>
<br>"We knew that that was the whole way the model was established, that team owners would have the ability to trade their groups and hopefully make money out of it, but I didn't believe we 'd attain it this early. That's been a good surprise." ([Reporting](https://git.wheeparam.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [editing](https://adiradlan.com) by [Michael](https://arbeitswerk-premium.de) Perry)<br>
