Changes to SailGP Season 4

When the fourth season of the global sports league SailGP was released in September 2022, the 14 event dates were listed but the venues had not all been confirmed for the 2023-24 schedule. Six months later, the schedule has gotten shuffled but the league has confirmed their return to France for the Sail Grand Prix | Saint-Tropez on September 9-10, 2023.

For the third consecutive year, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez will be hosting the F50 catamarans, and will be the first event of the European leg of the Season 4 calendar . It was in this picturesque village on the French Riviera – famous for its glitz and glamor – where France driver Quentin Delapierre set the all-time speed record for the league at the 2022 France Sail Grand Prix.

“I’ll never forget that memorable day where we pushed the limits with three amazing races while going nearly 100 km/h with eight boats around us going just as fast,” said Delapierre. “It was racing on the edge, the boat was shaking but it was so exciting!”

The full SailGP Season 4 Schedule will be announced at the end of March 2023.
