Australia to lose ‘a big name’ and speculation on Italy’s line-up

The 2025 Season is just around the corner and the league is rife with rumors. Our pre-season podcast has dropped and is asking all the questions our fans want to know. Who could replace Andy Maloney as Kiwi flight controller, and could Ben Ainslie return to the Emirates GBR driver’s seat?

There are rumors triple SailGP champions Australia are set to lose a ‘big name’ from their line-up, whispers that the U.S. is drafting in a new flight controller, and speculation on the Italian team line-up. Elsewhere, hosts Stevie Morrison and Lisa Darmanin predict pressure on Germany and the United States as soon as the starting gun is fired and driving seats at risk if performances don’t improve.
