Customer Appreciation & Sail GP Event
Please Join Us
Please join us on Saturday, June 17th for our first annual Customer Appreciation Event. We have timed this with the 2023 Sail Grand Prix race. It’s our way of saying thanks for being part of our crew! We have a big day in store for everyone.
SailGP is the world’s most exciting racing on water. The global championship features national teams battling in short, intense races at iconic stadium-style venues across the globe. The high-tech, high-speed action features sailing’s best athletes racing in identical hydrofoiling F50 catamarans, flying at speeds approaching 100 km/h. Nine national teams are going head-to-head for Championship glory, competing at 11 events across four continents. The close-to-shore racing takes place over two days at each event, with season points awarded to teams based on their ranking.
