The container-village base will become the first full-service, full-time training base for U.S. Olympic sailors
Oracle Team USA’s general manager Grant Simmer shares his insight into Oracle’s unlikely victory … and a glimpse of what we may see ahead for AC35 with Hamilton Island YC as the challenger of record.
From the perspective of a self-proclaimed average Joe match racer, the America’s Cup 34 desperately needs an infusion of close racing to add substance to its shiny surface.
Action from an action-packed second day of racing at the San Fran stop of the 2012 America’s Cup World Series
Who says sailboat racing is boring? Plenty of fast-paced action off the San Francisco waterfront today, including one smashing smash-up by Oracle Racing’s Russell Coutts. Are the boss’s reaction times slowing down with age?
The 2012 America’s Cup World Series kicks off in San Francisco with Oracle Racing ably playing the hometown favorite.
The second season of the America’s Cup World Series is scheduled to begin Wednesday, Aug. 22, in San Francisco. There will be a total of eight teams competing: Artemis Racing (SWE), China Team (CHN), Emirates Team New Zealand (NZL), Energy Team (FRA), J.P Morgan BAR (GBR), Luna Rossa Challenge 2013 (ITA), ORACLE TEAM USA (USA), and Team Korea (KOR).

The AC45 is a lean, mean, speed machine. Held down by a crew of five, this 44-foot long catamaran can cruise at speeds of over 30 knots in the right conditions. Designed by the defending team ORACLE Racing, the AC45 has already helped to make sailing a more visual and exciting spectator sport–plus, these boats can each fit into a 40-foot container!
Think you know sailboat racing? The AC45 brings a whole new boatload of excitement, danger, and thrill to the sport, making it more visual and entrancing than ever before. Capable of speeds of up to 30 knots, the catamarans must still remain nimble enough to maneuver successfully on the tight racecourses.
