Sail GP, Marseille 2019 preview: French F50 vs Kitefoil
Short but great video the French Sail GP Team. Besson at the helm killing Alex Caizergue .

Also open rules a la AC for coming seasons.
Although the Sail GP might not level the AC in prestige right now they have the speed and handling and great racing. But the AC75s are coming and looking good too.
