A fierce, fast, and maybe a little furious, racing event will be carving up a storm in the waters of the Solent next month. The Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix is the seventh event in the 2025 season of the Rolex SailGP Championship and will take place on July 19 and 20 in Portsmouth.
You can cheer on the GBR team – driven by Olympic gold medallist Dylan Fletcher with double Olympic gold medallist Hannah Mills in the strategist seat – just meters from the shoreside as twelve F50 catamarans speed towards the finish line, before enjoying live music from the likes of Tom Grennan and DJ Pete Tong. It promises to be one hull of a race.
Are you an F1 fan looking for another adrenaline-fuelled fix or maybe you just love the edge-of-your-seat thrill of a good chase? Well, you can find tense, heart-pounding racing on the water this summer. SailGP is high-speed sail racing, where national teams battle through choppy waves, wild winds and scorching rays of sun to claim victory and win the total prize pot of $12 million across the season.
These speedy showdowns take place at numerous iconic venues around the world and this July it will be coming to Portsmouth, a city drenched in a rich maritime and naval history, for a weekend of world class racing.
Even better, if you can’t get enough of the action, you’ll be pleased to know that SailGP will be racing back to the UK in 2026, promising another summer of sailing spectacle.
