Two crew changes headline the entry lists for the Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix on September 19-20, the 11th stop of the 2026 SailGP championship, as the fleet prepares to race on Lake Geneva.
The biggest shift falls to Mubadala Brazil. Paul Goodison steps into the driver's seat, replacing Martine Grael, while Kahena Kunze moves into the strategist role Goodison previously held. It's a straight swap of responsibilities within the same team rather than a personnel overhaul, but it changes how the boat will be steered through the lake's tricky wind shifts.
Red Bull Italy has also made a change on the coaching front. Sam Gilmour comes in for Tom Burton alongside head coach Tom Burnham, with Phil Robertson still driving and Kyle Langford on the wing.
For New Zealand fans, the two crews to watch remain Black Foils and Artemis. Peter Burling and Blair Tuke continue as driver and wing trimmer for Black Foils, backed by flight controller Leo Takahashi and strategist Liv Mackay, with Matt Stevens staying on as head coach.
Artemis, meanwhile, is coached by Sam Meech, with Andy Maloney flying the boat as flight controller under driver Nathan Outteridge and wing trimmer Chris Draper. Assistant coach Freddy Bergstrom and data analyst Saul Vassalo round out the shore team.
Elsewhere, the lineups look largely settled. Tom Slingsby continues to lead Bonds Flying Roos with Iain Jensen on the wing and Jason Waterhouse flight controlling, while Dylan Fletcher's Emirates GBR crew retains Stuart Bithell and Hannah Mills as strategist.
Diego Botin's Los Gallos, Nicolai Sehested's ROCKWOOL Racing and Giles Scott's NorthStar all field unchanged core crews. So does the French team under Quentin Delapierre, and the German entry led by Erik Kosegarten-Heil.
Home advantage sits with Sébastien Schneiter's Swiss team, who will race in front of a Lake Geneva crowd with Arnaud Psarofaghis on the wing and Maud Jayet as strategist. Taylor Canfield's United States crew rounds out the fleet, unchanged from recent events.
