HOW TO WATCH SAILGP THIS WEEKEND
There’s good news for SailGP fans planning to attend or watch, with a south-westerly wind of 37km/hr gusting 56km/hr forecast for Saturday afternoon – which should mean plenty of high-speed foiling action.
The weather will be 23°c and cloudy, with a 14% chance of precipitation. The humidity will be 58%.
Sunday could bring even more excitement with the wind set to increase. A SSW wind of 41km/hr gusting up to 61km/hr will likely mean the smallest 18m wings will be in use for the fleet.
The sun will make a welcome appearance with temperatures of around 23°c once more and no rain forecast. The humidity will drop a little to 48%.
Make sure you follow all the action via the U.S. SailGP Team App and social media channels!
