‘The pinnacle of sailing’: Sports taken to another level through cutting-edge technology

Sports are being taken to another level through cutting-edge technology and slick television coverage. One of these sports includes sailing, where once amateur sailors are now highly paid professionals. The teams in the international sailing competition, Sail GP, are now competing for big commercial deals from global companies and tech giants. Sail GP Strategist for Team Australia Nina Curtis says it is “the pinnacle of sailing at the moment”. “These boats are absolutely extraordinary, we’ve got a humongous aeroplane wing driving us through the water,” she said.
