The second season of the SailGP global league will be awash in data that will benefit sailors as well as TV viewers, thanks to its association with tech billionaire Larry Ellison, the cofounder of Oracle Corp.
Starting with the opener of the pandemic-delayed season April 24-25 in Bermuda, SailGP will use Oracle Stream Analytics to provide real-time race metrics as foiling, wing-sailed catamarans representing eight countries skim above the waves at close to freeway speeds.
Each of the 50-foot catamarans will send 30,000 data points per second to the Oracle Cloud. Oracle Stream Analytics will blend and transform disparate data into one stream, down from the 10 streams SailGP shared in its first season in 2019. That will allow teams to customize their data dashboards with relevant tactical information, including open-source data from rival teams, and determine in-race strategies in an instant.

(Reuters) - Team New Zealand won the 36th America’s Cup on Wednesday, wrapping up a 7-3 victory over challenger Luna Rossa to savour a triumphant defence of the ‘Auld Mug’ in sparkling home waters off the coast of Auckland.
The final race 10 ended up a victory lap for the hosts as they notched their fifth race win in succession, the peerless ‘Te Rehutai’ yacht roaring to a 46-second win to trigger partying on spectator yachts and among crowds on the foreshore.
TNZ helmsman Peter Burling soaked up his second America’s Cup triumph, having reclaimed sport’s oldest international trophy with a 7-1 win over Oracle Team USA at the 2017 match in Bermuda.

Uncertainty about the future of the America s Cup was already in the air while the boats were on the water.
OPINION: Three weeks on from Team New Zealand retaining yachting s biggest prize, I am rather tired of speculatory comments and articles on where the next America s Cup regatta might be held. For me as a fan – a nutty crazy fan who asked for extra days off so I could stay in Auckland to see Emirates Team New Zealand lift the Auld Mug – it is a no-brainer that the event remains in New Zealand. And I will tell you why.

Team NZ Flight Controller Blair Tuke says the race that won the America s Cup was their best of the regatta.
Luna Rossa boss Patrizio Bertelli believes his Italian America’s Cup syndicate must try to replicate the successful formula of Team New Zealand. Bertelli has already committed his team to staying in the Cup game and now wants to keep them busy, believing momentum is crucial as they look to build on their 7-3 loss to Team New Zealand in last month’s gripping America’s Cup match in Auckland. “We need to work continuously, without interruptions, otherwise objectives are lost from sight. New Zealand s strength is precisely this, in recent years it has always worked,” Bertelli told Italian radio station
