SailGP in Sydney 2023

Experience options

Fans can look forward to the following.

• • Genesis Island offers a front-row position in the middle of the race course
  • Official spectator boats from which to watch the action or bring your own boat to the exclusive spectator zone
  • Tech-base tours offer the chance to go behind the scenes for a rare opportunity to view the cutting-edge, F50 catamarans up close
  • Simply soak up the atmosphere and take part in exciting fan events at the SailGP Village at Barangaroo.

Last summer, an estimated 20,000 fans immersed themselves in the adrenaline-filled action on Sydney Harbour to watch the identical, technologically advanced 50-foot hydrofoiling catamarans fly over the water at breathtaking speeds up to 100 kilometres per hour.

This summer even more spectators from across Australia and internationally are anticipated to come and support Tom Slingsby and his Australia SailGP Team as they compete against eight rival nations to maintain their current position at the top of the SailGP Season 3 leaderboard.

Australia driver and CEO Slingsby said, “It would be great to see Aussies gather in their masses for this iconic event and to roar the team on.

“I have incredible memories from last year’s event – the home crowd was amazing and really helped drive the team towards victory. Hopefully, we can pull off a similar result in February!”

Minister for Tourism, Ben Franklin, said, “SailGP is an exhilarating international event that is one of the highlights of Sydney’s summer events calendar.

“Spectators from all over the world will flock to the shoreline and islands of Sydney Harbour, with stunning images beamed across the globe showcasing the harbour city as one of the world’s premier sporting event destinations.”

The Early Bird ticket offer is available from 24 October until 15 November at SailGP.com/Sydney. Early Bird tickets for Genesis Island will be 15 percent off the full price tickets.

The KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix | Sydney is proudly supported by KPMG, the New South Wales Government through Destination New South Wales and Genesis.
