SailGP Inspire returns to RAYC in 2026, building on a proven history of delivering some of the biggest and most exciting double-handed racing seen in the region.

Previous Inspire events have drawn standout fleets and unforgettable competition, and 2026 is set to continue that legacy—right in the middle of the SailGP buzz. With sailors travelling in from all over the country, this event brings together a national fleet at one of Australasia’s premier sailing venues.

SailGP Inspire is about more than racing—it’s about connection, inspiration, and being part of something that consistently raises the bar for double-handed sailing alongside the world’s fastest boats. Entries are still open, and now is the time to get involved.

If you want to race with a diverse, motivated fleet, experience SailGP week from the inside, and help shape another standout Inspire event at RAYC, we want you on the line. Jump in, spread the word, and be part of what makes SailGP Inspire special.
