Land Rover BAR’s T2 Hull is Already a Museum Piece

Visitors to Land Rover BAR’s headquarters can visit their Education Centre, called “The Tech Deck.” Among the 16 exhibits and STEM modules, they can see the hull and part of the crossbeam from T2, the team’s second “AC45X” test boat. The rules for the current America’s Cup cycle allow each team to build an unlimited number of test boats, and there is virtually no limit to the modifications that can be made and no rule on what constitutes a “new boat” rather than a “modified boat.” So now T2 has been retired, and is  on display for visitors to Portsmouth. Their T1 boat has the same dimensions and layout as a one-design AC45F. Boat T3 is their current test boat and the launch of T4 is rumoured to be imminent.
