In 2024, Halifax demonstrated it was a great location and host for this major international sailing circuit, and we know it will be another Canadian success. SailGP events attract millions of fans from around the world, and we look forward to seeing thousands of spectators back in Halifax to enjoy exciting racing as the F50 foiling catamarans reach speeds up to 100 km/h."
