A stunning day on the Côte d'Azur as the U.S. SailGP Team F50 is craned in
09/12/2025
Bonjour! 👋 🇫🇷
Welcome to beautiful Saint-Tropez on the stunning French Riviera.
We're here for the ROCKWOOL France Sail Grand Prix as the European leg of the SailGP season hots up!
Remember, it's Geneva next weekend, a week off, then we're heading to Cádiz for the penultimate event of Season 5.
Follow along today for the best coverage of the France Sail Grand Prix!
Riviera racing is on the cards in Event 9, as the SailGP season moves to the glamorous setting of Saint-Tropez.
This location certainly has plenty of sailing pedigree, hosting the famous Voiles de Saint-Tropez Regatta on an annual basis.
And it’s been a fixture on the SailGP calendar, too, with a race at the venue every year since 2021.
The 2022 edition will hold particularly good memories for fans of the U.S. SailGP Team, after they achieved their first-ever Grand Prix win in the glorious sunshine of Southern France.
