Over the coming weeks, America’s Cup teams will lift the veil on what they’ve been working on for the past few years.
With all teams only allowed to launch one new AC75 race boat ahead of the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona later this year, it has been a matter of ensuring all bases are covered in the build and development of their vessels.
But with the regatta now less than six months away, it’s time to hit the button on those plans being shared with the world.
Swiss syndicate Alinghi Red Bull Racing have been the first to shine a light on their new hull, revealing it in a grand ceremony in Barcelona overnight.
It is the syndicate’s first AC75 built in-house. They were not involved in the 36th America’s Cup in Auckland but did purchase Team New Zealand’s first-generation AC75 as a training boat for the early stages of their campaign.
