Artemis SailGP Team

Nathan Outteridge drives the Artemis Sweden SailGP Team while simultaneously serving as helmsman for Emirates Team New Zealand in the 38th America's Cup. This dual commitment makes Outteridge one of the most in-demand sailors in the world, racing F50 catamarans at 50 knots in SailGP and developing AC75 foiling monohulls for the defence of the America's Cup in Naples.

Outteridge won Olympic gold in the 49er at London 2012, representing Australia. His switch to Sweden's SailGP team and New Zealand's America's Cup team illustrates the global nature of professional sailing, where nationality of representation and nationality of birth frequently diverge. The Artemis name traces back to Artemis Racing, the Swedish America's Cup syndicate that competed in 2013 and 2017.

Outteridge's sailing ability is extraordinary. He can handle the F50 at speeds that would cause lesser sailors to ease off, and his tactical instincts in fleet racing are among the best on the circuit. The Australian-born, New Zealand-contracted, Swedish-flagged sailor embodies the international complexity of modern professional sailing.

The challenge for Outteridge, like Fletcher and Delapierre, is managing competing demands. The SailGP season, which culminates at the Abu Dhabi Grand Final, overlaps with America's Cup development, and the physical and mental load of racing the world's fastest sailboats while also preparing to defend the oldest trophy in sport is immense. Season 6 will test whether the dual campaign enhances or diminishes his performance on both platforms.

The Artemis Sweden name traces back to the technically ambitious Artemis Racing America's Cup syndicates of 2013 and 2017. Outteridge's London 2012 Olympic gold and three SailGP seasons of multihull experience mean the Swedish team punches above its national sailing infrastructure at every event on the circuit.
