Rapid sales of remaining tickets for Emirates Britain Sail Grand Prix coming to an end in Portsmouth
The much-anticipated Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Portsmouth 2025 is just around the corner, promising an action-packed weekend of sailing on the Solent. Scheduled for the 19th and 20th of July, this high-profile event will see 12 F50 catamarans battle it out on a tight and technical course, with teams from around the world vying for victory.
The race course is set just off Southsea in Portsmouth, England, a challenging tidal waterway known for its wavy conditions and complex tides. Some of the top contenders include Spain, BONDS Flying Roos, New Zealand, Emirates GBR (the British team), NorthStar Canada, and France. The Danish team is expected to be less competitive due to penalty points and missed events.
Emirates GBR, led by driver Dylan Fletcher and strategist Hannah Mills, will be aiming to "right the wrongs" of the last two events in Portsmouth. Fletcher and Mills, both Olympic gold medallists, have steered the team through a challenging season and will be eager to perform well in their home waters.
In addition to the thrilling racing, the event will also offer a range of activities for visitors. The RYA (Royal Yachting Association) will have a stand in the SailGP Race Stadium, providing information about RYA training courses, the British Sailing Pathway, and the RYA Green Blue pledge. RYA members can purchase tickets and enter a prize draw for a SailGP F50 race driver's wheel and a model replica of the F50.
The RYA is also the Official Community Impact Partner for the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Portsmouth, offering opportunities for schools, charities, and youth groups to explore sailing, STEM, and marine sustainability. Thousands of fans are expected to line the Southsea waterfront to witness the exciting racing and soak up the festival atmosphere.
With a large grandstand and race village set to host about 20,000 spectators over the weekend, tickets are still available, but time is running out. Forecasts include moderate winds, offering exciting race conditions with potential for high speeds and possibly new speed records.
The Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Portsmouth is a significant event for Emirates GBR as it is SailGP's first visit to the UK since Season 3.
