SailGP Docuseries ‘Uncharted’ Spotlights Jimmy Spithill’s Personal Sacrifices
SailGP announced it will launch its first-ever, long-form premium docuseries Uncharted next month in order to highlight how the global championship has flipped the narrative on traditional sailing through the lens of Jimmy Spithill, a generational athlete who takes viewers behind the scenes of the most exciting racing on water.
The docuseries features a rare sit-down interview with SailGP co-founder and Oracle CTO Larry Ellison, whose vision, together with SailGP co-founder and CEO Russell Coutts, has changed the entire trajectory of the sport. The series will roll out in three, 30-minute episodes, captivating both existing fans and those new to the sport. Beyond the high-stakes, high-octane nature of elite sport, Uncharted highlights the relentless pursuit of excellence required to build a team from scratch and strive for victory in one of the world’s fastest-growing and most demanding global competitions.
SailGP Chief Content Officer Melissa Lawton said: “Launching Uncharted around the globe is a huge moment for SailGP that will break down the barriers to our sport and change fans’ perceptions of sailing through the personal sacrifices and drama of high-speed, on-water racing. Uncharted offers a rare glimpse into the faces behind the racing, stripping back the very human stories behind SailGP’s ascent.”
