America’s Cup Update

America’s Cup 34 got off to a rocky start in the July round robin phase:

  • Artemis was still building their boat and did not race
  • Regatta director Iain Murray lost a protest by Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa
  • Luna Rossa boycotted the first race
  • ETNZ dominated Luna Rossa, winning by as much as 7 minutes

But there is good news, too!

  • Artemis launched their boat and foiled on the first day
  • The AC72’s are amazing to watch
  • Oracle Team USA has been training with two boats. Can you tell them apart?
  • The semi-final between Artemis and Luna Rossa will be full of emotion –
    can underdog Artemis be competitive with the Italians?
  • The America’s Cup Match in September will be spectacular – one of the boats may dominate, or we may have a knock down, drag out battle.
