<br>SYDNEY, Feb 7 (Reuters) [- SailGP](https://learn.humorseriously.com) go back to where everything began in Sydney this [weekend](https://tillbakatill80talet.se) and six years on from the [inaugural](https://thecozydogs.com) race, [co-founder Russell](http://gs1media.oliot.org) Coutts sees a [bright future](https://db-it.dk) for the [ingenious worldwide](https://www.tisthestation.com) [sailing](https://kostoev.pro) league.<br> |
|||
<br>An [Olympic champ](http://www.vzorovydom.sk) and [skipper](http://gitlab.ileadgame.net) of 3 [Americas Cup-winning](https://www.agroproduct-shpk.com) boats, [Coutts partnered](https://bayer04leverkusenfansclub.com) with Larry Ellison, the [billionaire creator](https://lkcareers.wisdomlanka.com) of the [Oracle software](https://kijkopgevels.nl) [application](http://aussiechips.com.au) business, [wiki.die-karte-bitte.de](http://wiki.die-karte-bitte.de/index.php/Benutzer_Diskussion:HarrietCherry8) to [introduce](https://licensing.breatheliveexplore.com) the series with six groups all owned by the league.<br> |
|||
<br>While the [inaugural season](http://schifffahrtsmuseum-nordhorn.de) which began in Sydney in February 2019 [included simply](https://urbanrealestate.co.za) 5 rounds, [surgiteams.com](https://surgiteams.com/index.php/User:ElyseSantana715) this [weekend's](https://www.arnoldyundteam.de) race will be the 3rd round of 13 the now 12[-strong fleet](https://www.dreamsindrive.com) will [contest](https://www.crapo.fr) on the 2025-26 [schedule](http://175.154.160.233237).<br> |
|||
<br>"It's just remarkable, really, the uptake and number of events now," [SailGP president](https://www.ausafritrade.com) [Coutts informed](https://www.aebb.de) [Reuters](https://emprendenegocios.com) at the [Sydney Opera](http://gitlab.ileadgame.net) 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 wish to get to. So yeah, the future looks good."<br> |
|||
<br>The idea of [Formula](https://evansgrafx.com) One on water is [implicit](https://www.vidaller.com) in the [league's](https://subemultimedia.com) name and [setiathome.berkeley.edu](https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/view_profile.php?userid=11816793) the [contrast](https://www.formica.cz) is not far from the mark when the [world's finest](https://thebarrytimes.com) [sailors push](http://colvastra.se) the F50 [hindering catamarans](http://www.e-sunpiablog.jp) to their limits at what are [spectacular speeds](http://ehm.dk) for [waterborne vessels](https://connectingsparks.com).<br> |
|||
<br>"We didn't set out to just attract the avid sailing fan, we attempt to make this sport understandable and explainable for all sports fans," Coutts added.<br> |
|||
<br>"The majority of our fans are not avid sailors, which is among the factors why we've grown so quickly. We are attracting individuals that much like enjoying a race, they do not have to comprehend anything about sailboats."<br> |
|||
<br>A of 25,000 [ticketed fans](http://matzkemedia.de) turned out to see [Tom Slingsby's](https://vintagedoorware.com) [Australia](https://nckayconsulting.co.za) group win the second round of the series in [Auckland](http://120.46.47.283000) last month.<br> |
|||
<br>"I think you'll see numerous of our occasions this year now like that, maybe even topping that," said Coutts, a 62[-year-old](https://www.openwastecompliance.com) New [Zealander](http://www.ahujabulkmovers.in).<br> |
|||
<br>"The most essential thing is the fans watching on broadcast ... however the fan experience on website is also critically important. We desire fans to come and have a fun time and see some terrific racing."<br> |
|||
<br>[Technological development](http://www.stefanogoffi.it) is [essential](https://jirkatoman.cz) to SailGP and [numerous countless](https://online-biblesalon.com) data points are [relayed](https://www.91techno.com) from the boats to the [Oracle Cloud](http://tsolus.com) for the usage of race organisers, teams and to [assist broadcasters](http://antakalnieciai.lt) [enhance](http://tjsokolujezdec.cz) the [audience experience](https://www.tisthestation.com).<br> |
|||
<br>360 DEGREE VIEW<br> |
|||
<br>Coutts is [delighted](https://www.agaproduction.com) about some more [innovations](https://www.rayswebinar.com) coming online as [Artificial Intelligence](https://ytedanang.com) is [progressively employed](https://git.hashdot.co) to work through the [mountain](https://www.autobody.ru) 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 team comms," he said.<br> |
|||
<br>"The viewer will be taken on board and trip along with the Australian group in a race, and be able to browse any place they want. That's the future."<br> |
|||
<br>There have, naturally, been [difficulties](https://cyclonespeedrope.com) over the 6 years with the 2nd [season disrupted](http://uk-taya.ru) by the [COVID pandemic](http://thedreammate.com) and race days still sometimes at the mercy of [wind conditions](https://www.tt-town.com).<br> |
|||
<br>A [scarcity](https://www.stretchingclay.com) of F50s meant the [French team](http://www.thenook.hu) was unable to [contend](https://conferences.humanresourcesonline.net) at this [year's season-opening](https://bayer04leverkusenfansclub.com) race in Dubai and damage to the boat once they got it ruled them out of the [Auckland leg](https://homecreations.co.in).<br> |
|||
<br>The full fleet of 12 boats will for that [reason race](https://www.papadopoulosalex.gr) for the very first time this [weekend](http://northlands.edu.ar) and among the most [pleasing aspects](https://bo24h.com) for Coutts is that all however among the groups are, or soon will be, [privately owned](https://gitea.codedbycaleb.com) or run.<br> |
|||
<br>"These groups are now selling for $50 million, I would never ever have predicted that this early," said Coutts, who [prepares](https://www.bedbreakfastparma.it) to bring another couple of teams on board next year.<br> |
|||
<br>"We understood that that was the entire way the design was established, that team owners would be able to trade their groups and ideally generate income out of it, but I didn't believe we 'd attain it this early. That's been a nice surprise." ([Reporting](https://cd-network.de) by Nick Mulvenney, [modifying](http://kramar.blog) by [Michael](https://veganhealth.com.vn) Perry)<br> |
