Challengers announced for 35th America’s Cup

(August 21, 2014) – Five challenging teams have officially been recognized by the Golden Gate Yacht Club of the America’s Cup Defender, Oracle Team USA. Seeking to compete in the 35th America’s Cup match in 2017 are…

Artemis Racing (SWE), Royal Swedish Yacht Club Ben Ainslie Racing (GBR), Royal Yacht Squadron Emirates Team New Zealand (NZL), Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Luna Rossa Challenge (ITA), Circolo della Vela Sicilia Team France (FRA), Yacht Club de France

“It’s exciting to look at the roster of teams who are lining up against us,” said Jimmy Spithill, the skipper of ORACLE TEAM USA, the winner of the last two America’s Cup matches. “We’re facing five strong challengers who have a lot of resources, talent and experience.

“But our team is very competitive. We love challenges – the bigger, the better. It’s very easy to get motivated when you see what we’re going to be facing.”

The AC.

Watching the Americas Cup this year has been strange for me, as this is the one time in my life where I haven't been there to see the action live on a chase boat or from the team base itself. The Americas cup has been part of my life ever since I was born and it always will be. These boats are the fastest in the world and is probably the most extreme racing I have ever seen. Overall, I think Emirates Team New Zealand have a slightly faster boat, and I think Oracle know that and are trying to dig in and give penalties wherever they can. The two boats are pretty much equal however, as ETNZ is only slightly faster, and Oracle are trying to equalize that by being as aggressive as they can. Both Oracle and ETNZ have great, great teams, with top of the line boats and yachtsmen. Obviously Dean Barker and James Spithill are both fantastic skippers, and I don't think you could ask for a better match. When your family isn't taking part in this regatta (whom you must root for first and foremost) you must always root for your country. There's been a lot of action onshore as well as offshore, which has decreased the reputation of the Cup quite dramatically, and it would be amazing to have the Cup back home in New Zealand and increase the reputation a bit, as well as bringing back a lot of the patriotic atmosphere as we saw with the red socks and commemorate Sir Peter Blake. The race is not only who has the better boat, but who also has the best tactics, which obviously changes depending on the current, wave height and the wind. Oracle have a serious problem with tacking, as they lose an immense amount of speed by being unable to tack on the foil. ETNZ excels at this, which also increases the speed and distance of an already faster boat. I think the race is pretty balanced so it will be interesting to see the outcome of this extreme, extreme yacht race. GO ETNZ!!!
