Sail Canada shared the following statement from its Chief Executive Officer Ryan Kelly regarding SailGP's announcement today of an event in Season 6 to be held in Halifax in June 2026.

"Sail Canada is excited to see SailGP to be back in Canada in June 2026. In 2024, Halifax demonstrated it was a great location and host for this major international sailing circuit, and we know it will be another Canadian success. SailGP events attract millions of fans from around the world, and we look forward to seeing thousands of spectators back in Halifax to enjoy exciting racing as the F50 foiling catamarans reach speeds up to 100 km/h."

"Congratulations to Sail Nova Scotia and its team who has secured the SailGP event for Canada, and we look forward to working with partners to build a legacy for this event, including inspiring young Canadian sailors."
