Where Data Meets Speed

Harnessing the power of high-frequency data to drive a net-zero future.

Leyton, Official Partner of the France SailGP Team: Where Technology Meets High Performance

There are arenas in which you recognise yourself. SailGP is one of them.

On this global circuit, F50s do not sail: they fly. Ten years of research lifted these catamarans out of the water and beyond 100 km/h. Fourteen events, five continents, and at every start the same equation: a continuous stream of data, seconds to decide, a crew to deliver.

It is this level of demand that brought us alongside the France SailGP Team and K-Challenge Racing.
Performance, first. It owes nothing to chance: it is born of individual precision, collective intelligence and a strategy reinvented on every leg. A discipline we practise, elsewhere, every day.

Technology, next. Onboard data, intelligent navigation systems, hydrogen: here, engineering is tested in real conditions. Behind every breakthrough lies research that someone dared to pursue. Giving innovation the means to succeed: we have made it our profession.

Impact, finally. This is where performance reveals its true meaning. Through the Impact League, SailGP also measures what teams give back to the world: inclusion, climate, transmission. Values we carry well beyond the pontoons.

At sea as on land, we hold the same course.
