## Season
### Round 1: Dubai

Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas marked the debut of two new teams joining the fleet - Mubadala Brazil and Red Bull Italy.
Due to a shortage of F50 catamarans, only 11 teams were able to race in the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas. France SailGP Team's potential new ownership group opted to wait for the league's newest F50 and miss the first event, for which France were awarded compensatory points.

#### Results

Black Foils, New Zealand Emirates Great Britain United States
Spain reached the highest speed of the event: 64.8 km/h / 40.3 mph / 35 knots

### Round 2: Auckland

After nearly two years of testing, SailGP has introduced its new high-speed titanium T-Foils to the entire F50 fleet at the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix | Auckland. Constructed from machined titanium and carbon, the high-speed T-Foils have thinner sections than the former L-Foils, reducing drag at high speeds.
France SailGP Team, which had been due to rejoin the fleet, was not on the start line in Auckland due to the discovery of an issue in the titanium wingsail connectors of the team's new F50, that could not be resolved in time for France to compete.
On the second day of ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix | Auckland, Canadian flight controller Billy Gooderham was injured during a maneuver in pre-racing warm up ahead of official racing. The team was not able to compete in remaining races.

#### Results

Australia Spain Emirates Great Britain
Spain reached the highest speed of the event: 96 km/h / 59.7 mph / 51.8 knots

### Round 3: Sydney

United States SailGP Team capsized while being towed to the practise racecourse on Friday, the damage caused to the wing made the Americans unable to compete in the event.
After sitting out the first two events, France SailGP Team returned to the competition in Sydney.

#### Results

Emirates Great Britain NorthStar, Canada Australia
Australia reached the highest speed of the event: 96.4 km/h / 59.9 mph / 52 knots

### Round 4: Los Angeles

ROCKWOOL Racing SailGP Team collided with a mark during race 1 of Rolex Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix. The sustained damage ruled them out of competition.

#### Results
