SailGP announced that CedarBridge Academy has been named the winner of the SailGP Inspire Next Gen Challenge in Bermuda, recognizing outstanding innovation, sustainability and engineering design.
A spokesperson said, “Delivered with the support of Bermuda-based registered charity Endeavour, the Next Gen Challenge is part of SailGP Inspire, the global championship’s award-winning community, education and outreach program. In Bermuda, approximately 1,600 students ages 11–14 participated, building model F50 catamarans from repurposed materials while applying sustainability principles, teamwork and real-world engineering skills.
“Judges praised CedarBridge Academy’s model F50 as ‘engineered to a remarkably high standard,’ citing its ingenious use of repurposed materials and exceptional attention to detail across the wings, hull, spinnaker and foils.
“Sandys Secondary Middle School placed second, impressing judges with its creative use of upcycled soda cans inspired by the Bonds Flying Roos colorway. Bermuda High School finished third.
“SailGP Inspire, supported by global partner Mubadala, has engaged more than 34,000 young people globally, creating pathways into sailing and the wider marine industry through hands-on experiences and innovation-led learning. In Bermuda, the program also connects students to the island’s rich sailing heritage and its influence on the iconic F50 design.
“The Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix [May 9–10] marks the fifth stop of the 2026 Rolex SailGP Championship, with international teams racing identical high-speed F50 catamarans. Winning schools will receive tickets to attend the event and receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the SailGP Tech Site.
“The event will be a spotlight moment for Bermuda, showcasing the island’s capabilities, beauty and status as a top global sailing destination on the world’s stage. This will be the fourth time Bermuda hosts the Rolex SailGP Championship. Tickets remain on sale to the general public for the event at SailGP.com/Bermuda.”
