Team changes

Bernoulli | Locke planned to enter the championship as a fan-run team covering the geographical area of Bermuda and the Caribbean.[1][2] The team failed to gain the necessary funding in time for the fourth season, and pushed their entry goal to the fifth season in 2024.[3]

On May 31, 2023, the creation of the SailGP Germany Team was announced and added to the fourth season roster.[4][5]

Calendar

An additional round was added to this season.[6]

Round 3: Saint-Tropez

Sebastian Vettel participated in practice for the regatta with the German team, which he co-owns.[7] The United States team capsized in practice, but avoided damaging their F50.[8]

Wind for the first day of racing were mainly light, preventing the boats from foiling.[9] Spain and Canada collided during the first race, with the latter receiving a penalty.[10] Moments after the finishing the final race of the day, New Zealand's wing collapsed, leaving doubts as to whether they would be able to participate in the second day of racing.[11][12][9]

Round 4: Taranto

New Zealand was unable to participate in the regatta due to a shortage of spare parts preventing their F50 from being repaired.[13]
