As SailGP continues to finalize its 2020 calendar, the organization has confirmed that a new event will take place in September 11-12 in Copenhagen, Denmark, marking the fifth event in the global championship’s second season.

SailGP Season 2 kicks off on February 28 in Sydney, and will be followed by events in San Francisco, New York, Cowes (UK), and Copenhagen. For the first time, a Danish team will compete against defending champion Australia, along with France, Great Britain, Japan, the United States and fellow new entry Spain, vying for sailing’s largest monetary prize of US$1 million.

The move to Denmark is a change from Season 1 when the schedule had the same first four events but held its fifth and deciding event in Marseille, France.

The Danish event will have a ticketed and free spectator area at the cruise terminal at Oceankaj adjacent to Nordhavn with an on-water option. The racing will take place on the water’s edge, with fans able to be just meters away from the high-flying action.
