Eleven teams to compete in Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix

Set to be a flagship event on the Middle East sporting calendar, the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas will see all 11 national teams compete for the very first time, looking to get off to a flying start as they embark on the season ahead.

For the first time, SailGP will also have a four-week long training camp for all 11 teams taking place around the season-opener - providing locals with plenty of opportunities to see teams out on the water before and after the Dubai event.

SailGP CEO Russell Coutts said: "We are delighted to be starting our new season in Dubai, a first for SailGP and the Middle East. Delivering world-class, close-to-shore racing, Mina Rashid provides perfect smooth water conditions – especially great for our new teams beginning their journey in SailGP.”
