Sail Grand Prix returns to NYC

Sail Grand Prix is back in New York City, and Good Day's Ryan Kristafer details what you can expect.

NEW YORK - Sail Grand Prix is back in New York City for the third time, meaning top racers from around the world will be flying across the Hudson River at record speeds, right off the coast of Governor's Island.

SailGP top speed

The backstory:

The entire SailGP flight comprises the F50 Catamaran, boats that can reach over 60 miles per hour – so they literally fly above the water.

"It's kind of what keeps it exciting though," Team USA flight controller, Mac Agnese, told FOX 5 NY last year. "There will be crashes. That's part of the game." 

The league is in its 5thh season now with national teams racing around the globe at breathtaking speeds and views, like the Statue of Liberty.
