Written by Boating New Zealand

Rio de Janeiro will host the inaugural Brazilian SailGP event, the renowned international sail racing championship known as the most exciting racing on water. The Enel Rio Sail Grand Prix will take place on May 3-4, 2025 in Guanabara Bay, in front of the stunning backdrop of Sugarloaf Mountain and the iconic Rio skyline. 

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Martine Grael has been selected as driver for her nations SailGP team, announced earlier this year – the first female driver since the league’s inception in 2019.
