The best outcome would have been for Team GBR to catastrophically flame out against Alinghi weeks ago, disappear for another cycle of soul-searching, ditch I****, come back with an environmentally-respectable sponsor in AC 38, and let the “our devil’s bargain led us to ruin” narrative hang visibly in the air, unspoken but acknowledged by the fanbase, as in 2021.
Whatever happens in the match, I worry that with them as LVC winners we won’t get that opportunity now and I**** have greatly extended their social license to operate. Last week I heard people working in the sustainability field, at an NYC Climate Week event, saying they were backing a team with a literal oil company’s name and not seeing any irony.
This is not the outcome I would have liked.

One of the more surprising August 2024 releases is a new Technic sailing set, 42174 Emirates Team New Zealand AC75 Yacht which lets fans re-create a detailed Technic model of the AC75 Yacht, the reigning holder of the Americas Cup.
The Americas Cup is the oldest international sports competition and one of the most historing sailing competitions in the world, so it’s a really cool niche for LEGO to explore. Plus, always happy to see a New Zealand sports team being represented in LEGO!
This 962-piece Technic set will be released on 1 August 2024 and features pneumatic functions to control the hydrofoil arms, as well as a large wing sail with authentic sponsors and branding.
The set is specifically of Taihoro with the hull and sails already in ETNZ livery. Fans of other teams and people who want to build replicas of the entire AC-75 fleet in the same amount of detail will probably have to look for third-party customization options on LEGO fansites.

America’s Cup Training in Barcelona, June 2024
While we all hyperventilate about what will happen in the Louis Vuitton Cup final tomorrow, one thing is certain:
On Saturday the Women’s America’s Cup begins!
Is it possible the weather won’t cooperate and there could be a delay? Yes. Is this entire event arguably a dodge by the old boys’ club to get through another Cup cycle without hiring any female crew in the main event (even though women did compete in the 1992-2007 cycles) and didn’t Dawn Riley literally tell me it was “silly”? Also yes.
Are we still going to appreciate and celebrate these women because they are the world’s best inshore female sailors? You bet your life.
One of the most anticipated events of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup is without doubt the Puig Women’s America’s Cup starting on Satur
As the Port Olímpic event site buzzes with a who’s who of the best women sailors in the world, the New Zealand team are under no illusions at the level of talent across their competition, but also excited to get out racing after a long build-up.
“It's going to be awesome come Saturday to have six boats on the start line. It's a massive moment,” said Liv Mackay.
“We have all come into this, trained a lot and put a lot into it. So, I think for us we have to have a learning but attacking mindset because we feel like we're learning so much every time we sail. But at the same time, we are extremely competitive.”

As a SailGP commentator and presenter, Olympic medalist Lisa Darmanin has an approachable, casual style, a way of educating and entertaining her broadcast viewers and bringing them along for the sailboat ride.
But when the Women’s America’s Cup gets underway October 5, she will be in front of the TV cameras as starboard trimmer for the Australian team.
“I love learning,” she says. “I think the biggest thing I’ve learned with my journey is I never imagined that I was going to be an Olympian, and I never thought that I would be able to present to millions around the world about sailing on camera. I just took every opportunity, and then I worked hard.
“You must have some level of talent, but hard work beats talent every moment of the day. I always say you must believe in yourself because no one can do that for you. It’s hard to dream big, but don’t be scared.”
Barcelona, Spain (August 20, 2024) - Whilst training ahead of the Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta that starts on August 22, Alinghi Red Bu
Whilst training ahead of the Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta that starts on August 22, Alinghi Red Bull Racing suffered a rig failure onboard ‘BoatOne.’
‘Today there was a rig failure during the early stage of training on BoatOne. Everybody onboard is safe, and an investigation will be carried out in due course,” said Silvio Arrivabene, Swiss team Co-General Manager. “In the meantime, the team remains fully focused on racing.”
This is the second rig failure that the Swiss team have had to endure with a breakage occurring on June 13 whilst in training. Conditions today saw a southerly breeze coming down the Barceloneta beachfront with a mean of 12 knots and a calm sea state – according to Predict Wind.
No other team for the 37th America’s Cup has lost a rig since launching their new AC75s.
The Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta is on August 22-25 with the Challenger Selection Series to begin on August 29.
