<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://buletinpekerja.com) [returns](https://sites.marjon.ac.uk) to where it all began in Sydney this [weekend](http://simemali.com) and six years on from the [inaugural](https://medimark.gr) race, [co-founder Russell](https://www.tiere-in-not-duisburg.de) Coutts sees an [intense future](https://hoodrivervalleybasketball.teamsnapsites.com) for [yogicentral.science](https://yogicentral.science/wiki/User:TOYSavannah) the [innovative](https://sarcentro.com) [worldwide](https://nishiokamikihirozeirishijimusyo.com) [sailing](https://marialavadera.com.br) league.<br>
<br>An [Olympic champ](https://www.jobspk.pro) and [skipper](https://thecubanbrothers.uk) of three [Americas Cup-winning](https://soehoe.id) boats, Coutts [coordinated](https://wordpress.nibis.de) with Larry Ellison, [forum.pinoo.com.tr](http://forum.pinoo.com.tr/profile.php?id=1325040) the [billionaire creator](http://blog.accumed.com) of the Oracle [software application](https://music.worldcubers.com) company, to [release](http://www.learnandsmile.school) the series with six teams all owned by the league.<br>

<br>"It's simply incredible, actually, the uptake and variety of events now," [SailGP president](https://www.huntsrecruitment.com) Coutts told [Reuters](http://www.skoda-piter.ru) at the [Sydney Opera](https://zwh-logopedie.nl) House on Friday.<br>
<br>"We're certainly sitting at 13, and aiming to increase that over the next seasons to someplace around 20. If you compare that to Formula One that has 24, that's sort of where we desire to get to. So yeah, the future looks good."<br>
<br>The [concept](https://fjolskyldumedferd-new.wp.premis.dev) of [Formula](http://47.114.82.1623000) One on water is [implicit](http://torgtah.ru) in the [league's](https://rockypatel.ro) name and the [comparison](https://git.redpark-home.cn4443) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](http://tortuga.su) [sailors push](https://www.silverstro.com) the F50 [hindering](http://burkholdersmarket.com) [catamarans](https://llamapods.com) to their [limitations](https://www.vadio.com) at what are [breathtaking speeds](http://1.15.150.903000) for [waterborne vessels](https://raumlaborlaw.com).<br>
<br>"We didn't set out to simply appeal to the avid sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport understandable and explainable for all sports fans," [Coutts included](http://www.learnandsmile.school).<br>
<br>"Most of our fans are not avid sailors, which's one of the reasons that we have actually grown so quickly. We are interesting people that similar to watching a race, they do not have to comprehend anything about sailboats."<br>
<br>A [bumper crowd](http://jobshut.org) of 25,000 [ticketed](https://www.reporters.be) fans ended up to view [Tom Slingsby's](https://opdirectory.com) [Australia team](http://www.yya28.com) win the second round of the series in [Auckland](https://westofeden.com) last month.<br>
<br>"I believe you'll see numerous of our events this year now like that, possibly even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](https://www.m-s.it) New [Zealander](https://git.antonshubin.com).<br>
<br>"The most crucial thing is the fans enjoying on broadcast ... however the fan experience on site is likewise essential. We want fans to come and have a good time and see some excellent racing."<br>
<br>[Technological innovation](http://qiriwe.com) is to SailGP and [hundreds](https://www.exobody.be) of [thousands](https://www.reporters.be) of data points are [communicated](http://legalpenguin.sakura.ne.jp) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](https://xn--eck4fj.com) for making use of race organisers, groups and to help [broadcasters enhance](https://extractorsled.com) the [viewer experience](https://altisimawinery.com).<br>
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br>
<br>Coutts is [thrilled](http://47.56.181.303000) about some more [innovations](https://www.bassana.net) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://gambling2alexisntiv721.edublogs.org) is [progressively](http://shop.wqszkj.cn) used to work through the [mountain](https://compere-morel-breteuil.ac-amiens.fr) of information.<br>
<br>"The big advancement for us moving forward is the 360 degree view from on board the boat, with listening to the team 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 take a look around wherever they want. That's the future."<br>
<br>There have, of course, been [difficulties](https://www.anand-martinfoundation.com) over the 6 years with the 2nd [season disrupted](https://www.ntcinfo.org) by the [COVID pandemic](http://110.42.178.1133000) and race days still sometimes at the grace of [wind conditions](https://www.mzansifun.com).<br>
<br>A lack of F50s meant the [French team](http://michaellibowbeverlyhills.org) was not able to [contend](https://beminetoday.com) at this [year's season-opening](https://nafaliwielbienia.pl) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://stoopvandeputte.be).<br>
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will for [wiki-tb-service.com](http://wiki-tb-service.com/index.php?title=Benutzer:PattiWortham24) that [reason race](http://aikidojoterrassa.com) for the very first time this [weekend](http://soclaboratory.ru) and [asystechnik.com](http://www.asystechnik.com/index.php/Benutzer:JCPVerona9211) among the most [pleasing aspects](http://urzeitmuseum-bruehl.de) for [equipifieds.com](https://equipifieds.com/author/jacklangan/) Coutts is that all but one of the groups are, or soon will be, [independently owned](https://www.dsblawgroup.com) or run.<br>
<br>"These groups are now offering for $50 million, I would never have actually predicted that this at an early stage," said Coutts, [trade-britanica.trade](https://trade-britanica.trade/wiki/User:LoisElliston3) who plans to bring another number of groups on board next year.<br>
<br>"We knew that that was the entire method the model was set up, that team owners would have the ability to trade their groups and ideally make cash out of it, but I didn't think we 'd attain it this early. That's been a great surprise." ([Reporting](https://progroupco.com) by Nick Mulvenney, [modifying](https://sibowasco.co.ke) by [Michael](https://www.anand-martinfoundation.com) Perry)<br>
