Through Stratas contributions, we are not only elevating the sports performance but also reinforcing Abu Dhabis leadership in sustainability, technological excellence, and fostering meaningful collaborations across industries. 'It was with immense pride that I witnessed the new T-foils in action, during the recent Auckland race. This is the first time that the new foils have been used in a race. Seeing the New Zealand team reaching speeds of 97.2 km/h during practice, and our Mubadala Brazil SailGP team reaching 87.69 km/h on day one of racing was truly impressive.' Ismail Ali Abdulla, Executive Director of UAE Clusters unit within Mubadalas UAE Investments platform and Managing Director of Strata, commented: 'We are immensely proud of Stratas achievements and the expertise demonstrated in these prestigious partnerships.

It's clear some teams are adapting quicker than others, finding new ways for this exciting innovation to heighten competition and tactical racing across the fleet. This marks the start of an ongoing collaboration with Strata to further enhance our racing product.'
