If there is any scenario more Sydney in nature than Sydney Harbour sailing, rosé sipping and a summer’s day, we want to hear about it. This month, from February 28 to 29, SailGP is bringing this trinity (plus great food) to Shark Island.

Tickets are now on sale to see Team Australia sail some of the fastest luxury sailing boats in the world, racing against six other countries.

Spectators can enjoy a far less active weekend than the sailors on show, sipping iced wines and devouring picnic hampers from the ‘Island Arena’. Or, register your own boat so you can watch the race up-close from the water.

In 2019, more than 22,000 onlookers from 25 nations watched the race, and 2020 is set to be bigger and better than before. Tickets are available now from SailGP.com/Sydney.
