Britain's SailGP team is turning to a week-long training blitz at the league's newly established performance facility in a bid to reverse their fortunes this season. The defending champions, who have failed to make an impressive start to the campaign, secured priority access to the facility—the first team to utilise the dedicated training venue.
Skipper Dylan Fletcher said the intensive preparation block represents a critical opportunity to rebuild momentum and secure qualification for the season-ending Grand Final. The training week allows the team to focus on technical refinement and tactical development away from competitive racing.
Britain's struggles at the start line this season have raised concerns about their ability to defend their title. However, Fletcher expressed confidence that the structured training environment will help the team address the issues that have plagued their early-season performances.
The performance facility represents a new resource within the SailGP ecosystem, enabling teams to conduct focused preparation between racing events. As the season progresses toward the Grand Final, Britain will be hoping the additional training time yields tangible improvements in their competitive standing.
