Accessibility
At SailGP, we are committed to providing an inclusive environment for everyone. As part of this, we will endeavor to make our services, facilities, and event sites as accessible as possible to ensure no one feels excluded. If you'd like to see additional facilities at a SailGP event, or if you have any other personal requirements, please contact us.
Tickets for wheelchair accessible viewing and easy-access viewing are available for purchase as a separate item from general-access tickets, which will ensure access to a reserved viewing section. Companions attending with spectators with accessible requirements are welcome to join them in the viewing area. A companion ticket will be required at point of purchase.
Weather & what to bring
The event is scheduled to take place rain or shine. Racing may be brought forward or delayed if conditions or weather forecasts are unsafe. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, the event cannot be held, we will notify you via email at the same address linked to your Fever account. When in doubt, please remember to check your spam folder too.
In the event of inclement weather causing the cancellation of racing, refunds would be offered in line with the Refund Policy on our website.
SailGP is an outdoor event, so we recommend dressing for the elements to stay comfortable throughout the race day:
Please note: To ensure clear views for everyone, umbrellas are not allowed in the grandstands.
Dress Code
There is no official dress code for SailGP events, but we are an outdoor event, so we strongly recommend you prepare for the weather forecast. Bring a hat, high SPF sunscreen, and drink plenty of water if sunny weather is forecast. Pack a raincoat and warmer layers if rain is looking more likely.
NOTE: Large umbrellas are not permitted in the grandstands as this will disrupt the view for other fans.
