SailGP's Adopt-a-Club program launches in Sydney

SailGP Inspire's Adopt-a-Club community outreach program makes its debut in Sydney at the Australia Sail Grand Prix presented by KPMG, taking place December 17-18. Initiating partnerships through local sailing clubs and organisations, the program is designed to expand opportunities in the sport for diversity and inclusion as part of the global league's Race for the Future - driving towards a better sport and a better planet.

In each SailGP host city, SailGP's eight national teams - comprising the sports best athletes - are fostering relationships within the respective communities. Recognising that sailing organisations and clubs are the entry point for many young people to a world of on-water activities, the aim of the program is to have a positive influence on their future by inspiring the next generation, provide industry insights and open their eyes to potential career paths in the marine industry.

Australia SailGP Team driver Tom Slingsby said: "SailGP's Adopt-a-Club program has been a brilliant initiative for Season 2 facilitating direct contact between the SailGP teams and an engaged local audience at each event. As we now head into our home event in Sydney we can't wait to meet the local sailors from Woollahra Sailing Club, use the power of sport for good and inspire F50 athletes of the future."
