The Australia SailGP Team, led by Tom Slingsby, remains the reference, by achieving a third consecutive win in the Great Final, although this time by the minimal difference from the New Zealand and Great Britain teams

Sail GP Season 4 will be inaugurated in Chicago with the Rolex United States Grand Prix on June 16 and 17, the first time the Swiss watch manufacturer will name and participate as the main sponsor of a SailGP event.

The series will have a record 12 major awards from North America, Europe, the Arabian Peninsula and Oceania. Each place has been chosen for its international size and capacity to host the competition near the coast, in order to achieve the maximum participation of the spectators.

The maximum equality is guaranteed, as demonstrated in Season 3, which concluded in San Francisco last May. During the one-year championship, each of the nine participating teams proved to be able to win races, seven ended up in the podium at least once and five won events.

The ten teams of Season 4 represent Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain, New Zealand, and Switzerland. The patterns include four Rolex World Sailors of the Year: Ben Ainslie (four times winner), Tom Slingsby and Peter Burling (twice winner), and James Spihill.
