Yesterday the Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) announced they are the Official Host Partner for the launch of SailGP’s Season 2, when the global league stages a four-week training camp in Bermuda followed by its two-day, live-televised kick-off event on the waters of the Great Sound next April.
The Bermuda Grand Prix presented by Hamilton Princess is scheduled for April 24th–25th, adding Bermuda to the dynamic league’s second-season roster that’s set to feature nine events in host nations around the world. The showdown will follow a month-long camp held on the island for SailGP’s eight national teams—Australia, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the United States—to hone their skills in pre-season practice. And, for the first time, female athletes will be included in the training as part of SailGP’s gender-equity initiative.
