Leyton x SailGP
Where Data Meets Speed
Harnessing the power of high-frequency data to drive a net-zero future.
For over two decades, Leyton has been a catalyst for innovation. Our alliance with SailGP, the world’s most sustainable and technologically advanced racing league, is more than a partnership; it is a shared laboratory for the future. By integrating our deep expertise in R&D tax incentives and energy transition with the high-frequency data streams of 50-knot F50 catamarans, we are proving that ecological responsibility is the ultimate driver of economic efficiency.
Together, we are not just racing; we are pioneering. From optimising foil aerodynamics using advanced carbon-tracking algorithms to implementing circular economy principles across the league’s global operations, our work ensures that every mile sailed contributes to a net-zero horizon. This is the story of how data-driven consulting meets the raw, unyielding power of the ocean to create a legacy that outlasts the race.
