ROLEX UNITED STATES SAILGP CHICAGO PREVIEW

Chicago (USA) – 12 June 2023 – With just a few days until racing starts at the Rolex United States SailGP Chicago at Navy Pier, final preparations are underway for the Canadian team.

« We are all looking forward to the start of Season 4 and being back on the water in Chicago this week. With ten teams on the start line on, it’s going to be a great spectacle for fans on Navy Pier. It is a tight race course and was favourable to us last year. Can’t wait to arrive in the Windy City! » said Driver Phil Robertson.
