Tickets are now on sale for the Canada Sail Grand Prix, with one of the most popular fixtures on the SailGP calendar set to return to Halifax for 2027.

The event runs over 15-16 May 2027, with hometown team NorthStar taking on the rest of the F50 fleet across a packed two-day schedule.

Halifax will be the fifth stop on SailGP's 2027 season, which the league is billing as its most ambitious calendar yet.

Last time around, 12,000 ticketed fans turned out on Halifax Harbour to watch Diego Botin's Los Gallos claim their first win of the season, beating Artemis, Explora Swiss and Bonds Flying Roos.

It wasn't the result the home crowd wanted. Giles Scott's Canadian team missed out on the four-boat Final despite a big second-day comeback, leaving plenty of unfinished business on the water.

Scott and his crew will be out to put that right in 2027, with a first home victory sure to go down well with the local fans who packed the waterfront last year.
