NorthStar SailGP Team, formerly known as Canada SailGP Team, is a professional sailing team led by Giles Scott,[5][6] competing in the global Rolex SailGP Championship.
History
[edit]The team was established in 2022, initially debuting in SailGP's 3rd season as the Canada SailGP Team. Under the leadership of skipper Phil Robertson, the team made its mark on the circuit during their first season, with two podium finishes in its first two events[7] and a victory at the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix in Christchurch.[8][9]
In Season 4 the team brought SailGP to Canada with ROCKWOOL Canada Sail Grand Prix | Halifax in June 2024,[10] which attracted more than 80,000 spectators.[11] The event was named "the best racecourse of the season" in fan voted End-of-Season Awards.[12] After skipping Season 5,[13] SailGP is set to return to Canada in Season 6.[14]
In September 2024, the team was acquired by Canadian biotech entrepreneur Dr Greg Bailey,[15] and rebranded as NorthStar SailGP Team to reflect its commitment to a broader mission, symbolized by the guiding light of the North Star.[16] Soon after, it was announced that skipper Phil Robertson has been replaced by former Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team skipper Giles Scott.[17]
