Sir Ben Anslie, Olympian and SailGP

July 29, 2022

As Sir Ben Ainslie makes his SailGP debut on home waters at the Great Britain Sail Grand Prix in Plymouth this weekend, SailGP will be putting into action some of the most progressive technological and sustainable clean energy innovations the sporting world has ever seen!


The Great Britain Sail Grand Prix will be the most sustainable on-water event ever with the largest number of electric solutions integrated across the race weekend and the entire race village 100% powered by clean energy.


The Duchess of Cambridge, Royal Patron of the 1851 Trust, will also be in attendance, joining a group of young people taking part in the Protect Our Future program by the 1851 Trust – the official charity of the Great Britain SailGP Team. Her Royal Highness will then get a taste of the incredible speed and skill involved in SailGP when she boards Ainslie’s British F50 and takes part in a friendly Commonwealth race!
