With just a few days until racing starts at the Rolex United States SailGP Chicago at Navy Pier, final preparations are under way 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.

Participating in the Inspire Regatta this week are seven youth sailors from across Canada who will be racing in WASZPs on Friday and Saturday.

Agustin Ferrario, Program Director of WE CAN FOIL, will be supporting and coaching these up and coming sailors in their quest to win a spot at the SailGP Inspire Finals in 2024 in San Francisco.

Tune in to watch the racing live this Friday and Saturday at 1700 EST on YouTube or TSN.
