Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix · 19 August 2026

Switzerland, we’re coming home.

The Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP F50 flying past the Jet d'Eau in Geneva

In just one month, SailGP returns to Lake Geneva for the second Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix and the final European stop of the season.

On 19–20 September 2026, the world’s fastest racing on water will once again take centre stage in Geneva.

Last year’s debut delivered everything: a sold-out crowd, an extraordinary atmosphere and a dramatic finale. The Swiss team came within moments of victory on home waters, before Germany denied us the win.

This September, we come back with unfinished business.

Now racing as the Explora Journeys Swiss SailGP Team, Sébastien Schneiter and his crew return to Geneva with growing momentum and one clear ambition: to fight for victory in front of our home crowd.

After a series of increasingly competitive performances this season, the team is ready to take another step on the waters that mean the most to us.

Sébastien Schneiter

There is nowhere we want to win more than Geneva. Last year showed us what racing in front of a Swiss home crowd feels like. This year, we want to finish the job.
