Final tickets selling fast for Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Portsmouth

The Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix Portsmouth promises to be one of the most electrifying sailing events on home waters this year, with the F50 foiling fleet descending on the Solent this weekend.

From 19–20 July 2025, the world’s fastest sailing race returns to the UK for a high-stakes showdown featuring speed, precision and national pride across the 12 competing teams.

This is your chance to rally behind Emirates GBR and experience the buzz both on and off the water.

Home waters, big ambitions

Leading the Emirates GBR charge are none other than driver Dylan Fletcher and strategist Hannah Mills, whose Olympic pedigree and fierce determination have been instrumental in steering the team through a rollercoaster season. 

After a powerful start in Dubai, momentum took a hit at recent events in San Francisco and New York, with the team now poised just off the season championship podium in fourth place.

But for Fletcher, the Portsmouth event - SailGP’s first visit to the UK since Season 3 - is a chance to ‘right the wrongs’ of the last two events.

Not only that, it’s set to be an event to remember. He points to Auckland’s sold out 8,000-seat Grandstands and says Portsmouth is ‘going one bigger’.

“We’re just looking forward to putting on a great show for our home crowd and coming away with a top result as well.”

With thousands of fans set to line the Southsea waterfront, the team will be counting on local energy to propel them forward.
