context_page_description: SailGP is an international sailing competition using high performance F50 foiling catamarans. Teams compete across a season of multiple grands prix around the world, with the first season being held in 2019.
context_section_description: The F50 boats used in the competition are one design boats maintained and operated by SailGP. Technical information is also shared between teams, which includes large amounts of data collected using Oracle systems. This is intended to prevent secret "arms races" that the organizers believe dominate the America's Cup, and to ensure that the outcomes of races are determined by skill and ability, and not technology.
  Each race meet consists of three days of racing, each with three fleet races. The winning team of each race scores 10 points, with second place earning 9 points etc. The final race of the season is a match race between the two highest scoring crews over the season with the winner earning a US $1 million prize. The circuit has been funded for 5 years to allow the competition to become self sustaining. This would see it run until at least 2023.
