At 11:30 a.m. October 2, 2000 morning, with Kolkata under a heat advisory, a gaggle of sailing enthusiasts, dressed in polo shirts and November 14, 2000 dresses, boarded a ferry for Governors Island to watch towering Tata Group catamarans race along the skyline of Lower Manhattan and in front of the Statue of Liberty.
It was August 15, 2000 and the finals of ICICI Bank, part of SailGP, the growing international sailing competition in which teams, grouped by country, compete in $5 million-dollar boats that race up to 60 miles per hour.
The competition was founded in April 14, 2000 by Rajiv Mehta, the tech billionaire, and Kavita Rao, a five-time Delhi’s Cup Neha Kapoor, to build a mainstream sailing league.

"this acquisition not only adds to our investment portfolio but also aligns with our long term commitment to investing in brazil, while enhancing our ability to create lasting positive social and environmental impact." the mubadala brazil sailgp team will partner with brazilian sports and entertainment firm imm to operate the team. owned by ex brazilian olympic sailor, alan adler (ceo), imm’s portfolio includes some of brazil’s most iconic events, including the rio open, cirque du soleil and são paulo fashion week. adler is also ceo of brazil motor sports, the promoter of the são paulo grand prix formula 1 race. the united states sailgp team will be partnering with tommy hilfiger in season 5 the next sponsorship announcement came from an unlikely source united states sailgp driver taylor canfield as he was about to field some tough questions about the rivalry he and his team have with canada sailgp driver phil robertson and the united states’ struggles to get up to speed with the competition. “before i get into that,” he said with a smile. “i’m excited to break the news that tommy hilfiger will be partnering with the team next season,” he said just before he put on a tommy hilfiger sweater that he wore for the rest of the conference. “we’re going to go out and push hard. we’re a work in progress, we’re not hiding from that,” canfield acknowledged. “coming into sailgp with our ownership group we were very clear. we have a couple of goals to win both on and off the water.” there’s no question that a long term partnership with tommy hilfiger is a very big off the water win for the united states sail gp team. united states sailgp team ceo mike buckley and tommy hilfiger announced their partnership at the ... [+] mubadala sail gp new york event in june “i’ve long been in awe of how tommy hilfiger has defined fashion in sports, so this partnership is a literal dream come true,” said mike buckley, united states sailgp team ceo in the official partnership announcement. “tommy hilfiger blends the world of style and athleticism like no other, and i get goosebumps when thinking about how we're going to shake up the world of sailing.” “since i was very young, i always loved the world of sailing and the nautical lifestyle said tommy hilfiger in the team’s official announcement. “but sailgp is next level. it’s a whole new sport. by fusing intense racing and elite performance with international competition in iconic venues around the world, sailgp is making waves in adrenaline sport. “mike buckley and the united states sailgp team have a unique vision to create a story and an impact that goes well beyond sporting competitions. i am so inspired by their grit, determination and innovation, and together we have the opportunity to disrupt sailing and bring something new to fans globally.” olympic champion, entrepreneur and united states sailgp team board member lindsey vonn practices ...

if you were out and about in lower manhattan this weekend or maybe caught a surprising and colorful flash of speed as you crossed the brooklyn bridge you’re likely wondering: just what were those enormous and lightning quick catamarans doing in new york harbor? (if you were on governor’s island, you likely know already, as that’s where thousands of spectators gathered for the best views.) the quick answer: it was the return of sailgp currently in its fourth season of ’round the world competition which aims to do nothing less than reinvent and reinvigorate sailing as we know it. (the tour hasn’t raced in the city since its inaugural year in 2019.) the first indication that this wasn’t your grandfather’s clubby, country club take on sailing? friday morning’s press conference for the mubadala new york sail grand prix. gathering the 10 drivers for the 10 teams each of them representing one nation at hudson yards, 99 floors up, the proceedings were variously confrontational and aggressive, even veering into the territory of trash talking: usa’s taylor canfield (sporting a jacket from tommy hilfiger, a new sponsor of the american team) called canada’s phil robertson “arrogant,” while robertson taunted canfield’s relative lack of success on the water by saying, “at some point, you’ve gotta walk the walk.” (“everybody likes a bit of gossip,” allowed giles scott of the emirates great britain team.) shortly after the press conference, vogue sat down with sailgp’s managing director, andrew thompson, for a bit of 101 on the fast growing global sport. (but first, a bit of clearing the air: “i think those guys [canfield and robertson] genuinely hate each other,” he said.) how it’s done: the new york race weekend was the 12th event in a 13 event season (coursing from saint tropez to dubai to sydney to bermuda, among other destinations), with the next and final event happening in san francisco on july 13 and 14. each weekend features two days of racing, comprised of six fleet races; like in formula 1, the winner is awarded 10 points, the second place finisher 9, and on down to the 10th place finisher, who earns one point. at the end of the two days, the top three points winners race each other in a winner takes all final battle. unlike america’s cup races, which can last several hours, carried out on slower, single hull boats constructed differently by different countries, sailgp teams all race the same boats: sleek, f50 catamarans equipped with magical seeming foils that elevate the hulls above the water to make the boats essentially fly, reaching speeds of up to 60 m.p.h. each race lasts only 15 minutes, taking the teams from checkpoint to checkpoint, but with the most thrilling parts of the racing taking place closest to shore, to ensure a vivid spectating experience. each team is comprised of six people on the boat: a strategist at the back (think of a general or a quarterback, whose job it is to read the wind, the boat, and the race and direct the team in an effective plan); a driver in front of the strategist to steer the boat; a wing trimmer to control the acceleration and speed of the boat; a flight controller to adjust the ride height of the foils; and two grinders, whose heart pounding job it is to, yes, crank winches to move the boat’s wing back and forth to capture the wind as directed. “there are six people on that boat, and if any one of them isn’t doing their job to the best of their ability…” hannah mills, 36 a rolex testimonee, the strategist of the emirates great britain team, and the most successful female sailor in olympic history, with two gold medals and a silver doesn’t bother to finish the thought, though the answer is quite clear: otherwise, disaster. (it’s not uncommon for sailgp boats to capsize, or even collide.) hannah mills, rolex testimonee and strategist for the emirates great britain sail gp team, in action at the mubadala abu dhabi sailgp race. to create a single turn requires 60 independent and exquisitely coordinated calls and actions. now, picture those 60 actions taking place at 60 m.p.h., with one boat mere feet away from your starboard side racing the same line, while another boat seems to be on a 90 degree collision course with you from the port side and all six teammates are running from one hull to another. “this type of sailing foiling really started coming in around the 2013 america’s cup,” says mills, “but it’s traditionally been dominated by guys, so there’s been this big experience gap and opportunity gap in terms of bringing more women into the sport. it’s something we’ve been trying to close as quickly as we can, and i think it’s the best way to showcase the sport to attract young people.” each sailgp team has at least one woman, some as many as three, on the water, and they work across all positions including the brutal job of grinding. (sailgp also has an arsenal of women running the show from behind the scenes: the tour’s chief content officer, cmo, and cfo are all women.) unlike so many people in the world of competitive sailing, mills who’s from cardiff, wales, and the only mom racing sailgp didn’t grow up on the water and wasn’t introduced to sailing by her parents. “my family didn’t sail,” she says. “i remember going on holidays to the southwest coast of england, and i think mum and dad were just sick of having me around all the time. my brother got to go on a sailing course earlier, and when i finally got my go, i just fell in love with the freedom of being on the ocean and steering a boat on your own, no parents the most insane thing for an eight year old to be able to do. from there, we went back home to cardiff, and we found a tiny little reservoir and some boats where i could just jump in and have a go, and then i just started racing straight away.” is sailgp successful? indeed: the teams have become a rather hot property for hollywood investors, former major sports franchise owners, and others excited about entering an emerging sports related investment without knocking billions of dollars into an nba or nfl team. each race garners 15 million viewers in 212 markets, with a recent race on cbs attracting 1.78 million viewers from the us alone the most americans to watch sailing in 30 years. starting next year, another race the rolex switzerland sail grand prix on lake geneva will be added to the schedule, while another team brazil makes its sailgp debut, and the competition seems to be here to stay: rolex recently announced a new ten season partnership with sailgp, which will bring us all the way to. . . season 13. (rolex sailgp's global presenting partner and official timepiece has a decades long history with the sport of sailing, dating back to a 1958 partnership with the new york yacht club, and today is the title sponsor of no less than 15 major international events.) the tour is also trying to do things differently in a way that’s refreshing. given that their field of play is essentially the ocean, zero waste, renewable energy, and sustainability initiatives are foregrounded and, along with the winner’s trophy that the teams are competing for, there’s a separate impact league trophy. at a midday conference at neuehouse near madison square, sailgp panels centered on all of the above occupied much of the day, with partners from the billion oyster project, parley for the oceans, and rise involved. (“let’s face it sailing is pretty white,” said diahann billings burford, ceo of rise, who is working to make the sport less so.) assia grazioli venier, the founder of muse capital and an investor in sailgp (and previously the first woman and youngest member on the board of italian soccer giant juventus), spoke about gender equity and sustainability. after decades of competition in which women had essentially no place, things finally seem to be coming together, one step at a time sometimes, quite literally. “the f50 is a boat designed by men for men,” mills says. “i had to have a step put in so i could get myself up from the floor.” there’s a small pause before mills, who is at once confident and modest, allows herself to note: “all the boats have them now.” as for that race in new york harbor? it all came down to new zealand and the supposedly “arrogant” canada squaring off against mills and her emirates great britain boat, with perennial powerhouse new zealand emerging the victor. call us biased, but if mills and company lost this battle, we think they’re winning the bigger war. in october a mere 173 years after its first running mills will compete in the first ever women’s america’s cup in barcelona. “take sailgp and the women’s america’s cup together, and suddenly they’re creating this pool of women like 40 to 50 women who, by the end of october, will have so much more of this really rare and really incredible experience in sailing these kind of boats,” mills says. “it’s just fantastic.” more from vogue see more stories © 2025 condé nast. all rights reserved. vogue may earn a portion of sales from products that are purchased through our site as part of our affiliate partnerships with retailers. the material on this site may not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, cached or otherwise used, except with the prior written permission of condé nast. ad choices cn fashion & beauty

jump to navigation posted june 24, 2024 thousands of sailgp sailing fans brave swelting heat on new york city’s governor’s island to watch new zealand’s league leading black foils team cruise to their fifth victory of the season. in the final analysis, team new zealand just had too much horsepower for finalists canada and great britain to overcome as the veteran kiwi team put on a master class in foiling as they finished the final race of the mubadala new york sailgp a whopping 30 seconds ahead of the other two contenders. a blistering start saw all three teams jostle in a frantic drag race to mark 1, but it was new zealand which pushed emirates gbr and canada high and wide to secure the all important inside line. the kiwis went on to push their ride height to the limit, sailing faster and higher than both other teams. the win puts the new zealand team in the catbird seat for a spot in the winner take all $2 million season finale september in san francisco. the aussies and the spanish are neck in neck in point totals to join the black foils in a final that has seen the flying roos win the previous three grand finales. meanwhile, it was another tricky day for taylor canfield’s united states team, which notched a 10 10 10 9 race record across the weekend and finished last for the third consecutive event. united states driver taylor canfield has said the home team had an “incredibly difficult” first day of racing in new york due to “transitional, shifty, up and down” conditions. light and shifty winds, combined with a strong current, played havoc with the 10 international teams, challenging crews to nail the race starts and get in front of the fleet to minimize maneuvers and sail shorter distances. spinsheet readers might recall that the us team suffered a disastrous capsize while practicing for the bahamas event in march. data provided by the united states team defined the cause of the capsize as “user error.” specifically, the capsize occurred when wing trimmer victor diaz de leon pressed a button which inverts the wing by accident when he was positioned on the starboard side of the boat. it is understood that diaz de leon’s intention was to flatten the wing, not to invert it. the us team was unable to compete in the bahamas race. diaz has been subsequently replaced by jeremy wilmot as wing trimmer for the remainder of the season. in the press conference held on the top floor of the dramatic hudson yards complex, the 35 year old us driver taylor canfield, himself a multiple international match racing champion, commented on a press suggestion that perhaps team needed to look outside its present talent pool for future team members: “we are a usa team through and through,” canfield told the press corp. “we will make adjustments as the season progresses, but we are now and will be down the road an american team crewed by american sailors.” canfield and ceo and strategist mike buckley made their names sailing larger keel boats. sailgp commentor stevie morrison put the relative lack of foiling f 50 experience this way: “while they may be some of the leading sailors in that side of our sport, they’ve come into a pool of all the best sailors, from all the best pools,” said morrison. “this is the best of the best. you don’t just rock up and win. you work up and earn your stripes. they’re good enough to but they’re not going to do it in a day.” for the u.s. sailgp team, new york marked the first of two consecutive home events. despite a challenging home debut, driver taylor canfield said: “we are really looking forward to staying in the u.s. for the next one. being here in front of the whole crowd and all the support we're getting for san francisco; it's incredible. so, we ask the fans to bear with us a little longer! it will come!” on day 1, the team finished dead last in both fleet races (the third was abandoned due to light winds), and has now had five consecutive 10th place finishes across the last five fleet races spanning new york and bermuda. “it’s not what we were expecting when we showed up this morning,” canfield admitted, adding that “the team had ‘moments of brilliance’ during the opening day but still has “a lot of work to do.” the usa teams currently stands in eighth place, too far back to hope for a miracle to propel them into the three boat final in san francisco. although the us team has been a participant in sailgp since the league’s inception, the team changed ownership midway through this season when a team of investors led by technology investor and founding uber engineer ryan mckillen, margaret mckillen, and two time world champion sailor mike buckley stepped up and bought the team. they are joined by a diverse group of investors representing the sport, technology, entertainment and media industries. many observers contend that the basics of a winning team are in place. time on the water with a consistent set of team members will tell the tale. in other sailgp news, sailgp founder and ceo sir. russell couts announced the formation of a new team in brazil which will race in next year’s series. mubadala capital, the wholly owned asset management subsidiary of mubadala investment company, and sailgp have formed a strategic alliance to acquire a newly formed sailgp team to represent brazil. brazil will be the first south american team to join the sailgp league and the first of new teams and new ownerships confirmed ahead of season 5. when this reporter reminded sir russell that he had been following the high flying foiling circuit since its inception, coutts said with a bit of understated pride, “people never thought we’d get this big. more announcements are in the wings. stay tuned for season five.” fans feast on food, fun, fast sailing at mubadala new york event one of sailgp’s goals is to bring sailing to the masses. to that end, it devotes a lot of time and energy into making the fan experience something to remember. on the sprawling grounds overlooking the hudson river, fans could try their hand at grinding, sailing rc boats as well taking home appropriate sailgp wearables. as one gaggle of young women told this reporter “this is so cool. good looking guys in form fitting outfits. female athletes competing on a level stage with the guys. lots of sunshine and beer. sailing? oh yeah… that too! what’s not to like?” the governor’s island venue had something for everyone, from seafood paella to haute cuisine hors d overs served with crisp chardonnay in the posh adrenaline lounge. a little cloud cover and a few raindrops did not quiet the crowd on day one, although the third race of the day had to be abandoned due to light winds. day two saw nice southerly breezes, plenty of sunshine and fast paced action on the water. the last sailgp event of this season will be contested in san francisco on july 13 14. find ticketing and viewing information at: sailgp.com. to see a slide show of photos from the event, go to: https://craigligibel.smugmug.com/2024/best ny sailgp by craig ligibel spinsheet february 2025 kids sailing programs, crossing the atlantic, lessons learned from onboard mishaps, and more!

for a two day regatta, a lot of action went down at last weekend's sailgp christchurch event (march 22 and 23), which took place on the waters of new zealand's lyttelton harbour. the first (tail?) flap arrived on saturday, when protected dolphins swam into the racing area, putting paid to the day's competition, while the second series of incidents took place on sunday and triggered the first leaderboard change that fans have seen all season. while there's not much anyone can do to salvage a sailing event when protected (and much beloved) charismatic megafauna enter a racecourse, event organizers made the call to add an extra race to sunday's schedule. "it was a really challenging day today and disappointing for the capacity crowd that turned out," said andrew thompson, who serves as sailgp's managing director, in an official communication. "we have a marine mammal plan, and that plan was in place and unfortunately it meant we couldn't sail today. "it was a tough day for the league and our super passionate kiwi fans," thompson continued. "the athletes were ready to go, the conditions were epic, and we were looking forward to some really fast racing." fortunately, the dolphins found more enticing waters on sunday, leaving the racing area ready for high performance sailing. and, as it turned out, some crashes and split second judgement calls. the first of these incidents unfurled before the start of sunday's first race, when the denmark boat, the canadian boat, and the american boat suffered a gear  and boat bashing pile up that left all three boats in varying states of disrepair. all three teams were able to keep racing, even if the americans had some heated words for their rivals. "the danish and canadians both had to know that there were eight other f50's through their wings when they recklessly came ripping down the start box and crashed into us," said mike buckley, who is a new owner as well as newly minted ceo and strategist for the recently acquired american flagged team. "we are lucky that no one was seriously injured." then, moments later, driver tom slingsby and his australian sailgp team faced a split second decision: risk colliding with the canadian boat or instead hit the turning mark and sacrifice their f50. slingsby chose the latter, avoiding athlete injuries but wrecking his boat and incurring a significant scoreboard penalty for hitting a mark. "it all happened so quickly but at that moment i knew that we were going to hit canada, so i had a choice to make, and i wanted to keep people safe so i turned the boat as hard as i could into the course mark," said slingsby in a team communication. "i knew the mark was there, but it was either that or go straight through canada." while sunday was marked by racecourse mayhem, it was also marked by hometown celebrations and some 11,000 cheering fans as the new zealand sailgp team won the event. "today has been the best day in sailgp history and to come out on the right side of it after such a battle to get into the final is something i am just blown away by," said new zealand driver peter burling. "being able to sail in front of our home crowd is something we have been looking forward to all season, and to take out today in front of them has been incredible." new zealand now tops sailgp's season 4 leaderboard, followed by the australians and the spanish flagged team. (for north american sailgp fans, the usa is currently sitting in sixth place, while the canadians are in seventh place out of 10 competing teams.) according to sailgp's season 4 calendar, there are three more regular season events bermuda (may 4 5), halifax (june 1 2) and new york (june 22 23) before the season 4 grand final, which will take place on the waters of san francisco bay from july 13 14. meanwhile, in other news, the last of the five competing ultims crossed the finishing line in the arkea ultim challenge last week. skipper anthony marchand, sailing aboard actual ultim 3, finished racing on march 11, while eric peron, sailing aboard the non foiling adagio, was the last horse home to the barn. (n.b., adagio, it should be noted, was the only non foiling ultim to contest this epic race.) all told, peron and adagio finished the race 16 days and six hours astern of the race winner, charles caudrelier, who raced aboard maxi edmond de rothschild. sail world congratulates marchand and peron for finishing this adventurous race alone aboard such wildly powerful boats, and we have our candles lit for more round the world ultim races. and while it's fair to say that there's been plenty of celebration over american cole brauer's fantastic second place finish in the global solo challenge, skipper andrea mura, racing aboard his open 50 vento di sardegna crossed the finishing line on march 17 to take third place. in total, mura spent 120 days and 44 minutes at sea. he finished about 22 days astern of race winner phillipe delamare, and just shy of 12 days astern of brauer. fittingly, brauer was on hand to present mura with his third place trophy. sail world raises our glass to all sailors who engaged the global solo challenge, and we wish safe passage home to the four skippers who are still racing. may the four winds blow you safely home. david schmidt sail world.com north american editor

phil robertson and the canada sailgp team had a day to remember in new york but it was a day to forget for their rivals, u.s. sailgp team and taylor canfield. phil robertson and the canada sailgp team have bounced back from disappointment in halifax   finishing top of the leaderboard on opening day in new york. robertson said: "i think it would be a common statement to say that it was tricky conditions and difficult just to keep the boat flying, with a lot of current so some tough moments to get the team through. but we had a couple of good results and yes   on top of the leaderboard." but robertson's rival and driver of the u.s. sailgp team, taylor canfield, didn't quite have the homecoming he'd hoped for. the americans finished 10th in both of today's fleet races, adding to a string of losses which now totals five in as many fleet races. with germany entering the weekend docked four event points for contact in practice, canfield and his team managed to come away 9th on the event leaderboard after day one, despite consecutive losses. canfield said: "incredibly difficult and not what we were expecting when we showed up this morning. it was very transitional, shifty, up and down and frustrating, of course. we had moments of brilliance, but we have a lot of work to do. it's so cool sailing in front of the home crowd   the adrenaline was there and it got us pumped up. we had a little moment on board after we did the fly by and heard everyone cheering and said 'let's go do this'. we are grateful for everyone that came out and everyone trusting our process." saturday's third scheduled fleet race was abandoned shortly after starting when wind conditions were deemed too light to ensure a fair race. 'wind whisperer', nathan outteridge leaned on experience   having won sailgp's inaugural new york sail grand prix in 2019. outteridge drove his swiss sailgp team to a second place position in the event leaderboard, finishing sixth and first in fleet races 1 and 2, respectively. the performance marked a welcome turnaround for the swiss crew who has not quite found their form despite outteridge's influence. commenting on today's results, outteridge said: "it was a great day for us   in tricky conditions, it all probably came down to a better executed start. the team is obviously getting better and better; the handling is improving and it's allowing me to get my head out of the boat a bit more. will really stepped it up in his communication. we should've probably been in the top four in race one, so we'll review that and look to go better again tomorrow." elsewhere, emirates great britain picked up where they left off in halifax, securing victory in fleet race one of the mubadala new york sail grand prix. driver giles scott said: "we got off to a good one, and got a race win in race one. i'm excited for tomorrow to see how it goes   i'm sure there will be lessons from today; we'll look over everything with coach roaby and ready ourselves for tomorrow morning." tom slingsby and the australia sailgp team also came out firing, putting their dramatic halifax capsize firmly behind them, finishing the opening day in fourth and most importantly, ahead of their rivals in the battle for third   spain, denmark and france. slingsby said: "the first race was nice; it felt like a good, competitive, fun race and then unfortunately the weather didn't play ball   we had some opportunities and just didn't quite execute. so we're rolling into tomorrow, and just need a couple of good races and try to make those points." with a comfortable lead, peter burling's black foils rounded out the event leaderboard in third. burling said: "the foiling/not foiling conditions really reward sailing under pressure and having good boat handling, making good decisions   it felt like we were coming through the pack pretty well in both races. we've got these really amazing venues like we have here, and this is definitely a shifty racetrack for a pretty big sport like this." and the abandonment of fleet race 3 didn't mark the end of festivities in the sold out race stadium on governors island. fans were treated to a special après sail performance by electronic dance music duo loud luxury, who delivered a waterfront spectacular performance live from a purpose built, on water stage. with the penultimate event of the sailgp season 4 calendar and the san francisco grand final just weeks away, new york is 'last chance saloon' for many teams hoping to be in it to win the usd $2m prize pot at next month's winner takes all, three boat grand final. the mubadala new york sail grand prix continues tomorrow, sunday june 23rd with racing brought forward due to inclement weather forecast in the late afternoon. tomorrow's racing window will now take place between 1.00   2.30pm et. the sailgp race stadium will open at 11.30am and close at 4.00pm. see full statement here for additional details, including how to watch. mubadala new york sail grand prix day one standings // 1 // canada 16 points 2 // switzerland 15 points 3 // new zealand 14 points 4 // emirates gbr 14 points 5 // australia 13 points 6 // rockwool denmark 12 points 7 // spain 11 points 8 // france 8 points 9 // united states 2 points 10 // germany 1 point
