Everything you need to know about the 37th America’s Cup

Follow the build-up to the 37th America’s Cup as the teams prepare to fight it out for the oldest sporting trophy in the world.

Which teams are in the 37th America’s Cup?

In 2021 four teams raced in fully foiling AC75 monohulls which were conceived specifically for the event by then Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand and Challenger of Record, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.

These same four teams return for the 2024 America’s Cup and will be joined by two additional teams, bringing the total number of entries up to 6.

Emirates Team New Zealand – America’s Cup Defender

As the current holder of the America’s Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand will be racing again in the 37th America’s Cup. As the Defender, the Kiwis will be guaranteed a spot in the America’s Cup regatta itself.

Any other challengers will need to race each other in preliminary regattas for the right to be the single challenger in the America’s Cup regatta itself.

INEOS Britannia – America’s Cup Challenger of Record

The Challenger of Record is the name given to the first yacht club to challenge the holder of the America’s Cup once it has been won.

When Emirates Team New Zealand successfully completed their defence of the America’s Cup in 2021, the Royal Yacht Squadron immediately issued a challenge on behalf of Ben Ainslie’s INEOS Team UK (now called INEOS Britannia), so they are Challenger of Record for the 37th America’s Cup .

INEOS Britannia and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team has strengthened an exhausting relationship, with the British challenger standing to benefit from the technical and engineering experience of the multiple World Champion F1 team.

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has a very long America’s Cup history having first competed in 2000 and has taken part in every Cup since (with the exception of the unique 2010 Deed of Gift match).

For the 36th America’s Cup Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli were the challenger of record. They also won the challenger selection series so it was this Italian team who took on Emirates Team New Zealand for the America’s Cup itself.

The team will return for the 37th America’s Cup though this time they are not the official challenger of record.

American Magic

In 2021 the New York Yacht Clubs’ American Magic was also competing, though their event was ultimately ruined by a capsize in the early part of the regatta . They did get the boat rebuilt but it never got back up to speed and they made an early exit.

The 2021 campaign marked the return of the New York Yacht Club to the America’s Cup. The NYYC held the America’s Cup from its inception in 1851 right the way through to 1983, when they were defeated by the Royal Perth Yacht Club’s Australia II .

American Magic have confirmed their entry into the 37th America’s Cup and will, once again, be representing the New York Yacht Club.

Alinghi Red Bull Racing

Another team making a return to the America’s Cup scene after a long break will be Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi team. The Swiss team won the America’s Cup in 2003 and then completed a successful defence in 2007.

However, a serious falling out over the potential rules for the next America’s Cup saw Alinghi taken to court by Larry Ellison and his BMW Oracle team, the 2010 America’s Cup was held between Alinghi and BMW Oracle Racing in a Deed of Gift match that saw the teams fight it out in huge multihulls.

BMW Oracle won the contest and Alinghi stepped away from America’s Cup racing. Their return is a welcome one and their Cup history alongside their partnership with Red Bull Racing should see them a solid challenge from the off.

Orient Express Racing Team

The French entry to the 2024 America’s Cup was long rumoured but it was not until quite late in the day that they officially announced their intention to challenge.

It was in early 2023 that the official announcement came of a French AC entry, backed by Accor Group and its brands Orient Express and ALL-ACCOR Live Limitless.

As a fairly late challenge they will have a lot to do to be competitive, but they struck a great – and controversial – deal with Team New Zealand to buy their boat design, so should at least have a quick hull underneath them.

What boats are in the 37th America’s Cup

The Protocol for the 37th America’s Cup has been released including the rules for the class of boat to be used in the next edition of the event. Once again the America’s Cup will be raced for in AC75s . These boats were first brought in ahead of the 36th America’s Cup so this will be their second outing.

The foiling monohulls are slightly different, with rules being tweaked partly aimed at improving light wind performance and reducing crew numbers from 11 to 8.

Teams are only be allowed to build one AC75 and nationality rules are strict this time around requiring 100% of the race crew for each competitor to either be a passport holder of the country of the team’s yacht club or to have been physically present in that country for 18 months of the previous three years prior to 17th March 2021.

Emirates Team New Zealand saw success in 2017 in Bermuda with their Cyclors . Having been banned in 2021, these have made a return for the 37th America’s Cup.

Barcelona, the venue for the 37th America’s Cup

Where will the 37th America’s Cup be held?

Barcelona, Spain was selected in 2022 as the venue for the 37th America’s Cup , marking the first time a New Zealand team has chosen to defend a Cup win overseas.

The home city of Emirates Team New Zealand and the venue for the 36th America’s Cup, Auckland, had an exclusive period in which to tender for the regatta immediately after the Kiwis’ successful defence in 2021, but the sums on offer were not enough, and Emirates Team New Zealand CEO Grant Dalton cast the net wider internationally after rejecting a NZ$99 million (£50 million) offer from the New Zealand government.

A number venues were mooted including: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Cork, Ireland; Malaga, Spain, but Barcelona eventually won out.

When is the 37th America’s Cup?

The America’s Cup will be held in 2024 in Barcelona. Racing in the 37th America’s Cup Match itself, which is a best of 13 (first to seven) format will start on Saturday 12th October 2024 and could run all the way to the 27th October should all the races be needed to pick a winner.

The America’s Cup will be proceeded by the challenger selection series, which will see which of the five challengers gets the honour to race New Zealand for the Cup itself.

Racing for the Challenger Selection Series – officially the Louis Vuitton Cup, will take place between the 29 August 2024 and 7 October 2024.

Match Racing

Though the America’s Cup was first raced for in 1851 ( and won by the schooner America from which the trophy gets its name), this race was between a fleet of boats. A challenge by the British in the 1870s was also conducted as a fleet race.

By the 1880s, following a protest from the British, the America’s Cup was decided in a head-to-head match race where two boats sail against each other.

Match racing is a particular skill and encourages aggressive manoeuvres using the rules to put your opponent at a disadvantage. This cut-and-thrust racing, where the only objective is to beat your opponent, has long been at the heart of America’s Cup racing and produces a thrilling spectacle.

Marblehead’s Corinthian Repeats at Resolute Cup

• By Michelle Slade
• September 17, 2024

A command performance by Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Mass., saw the well-honed team skippered by Wade Waddell take its second consecutive victory in the prestigious Resolute Cup, thus securing the venerable club a berth in the 2025 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup.

This year’s edition of the Resolute Cup showcased teams representing 28 yacht clubs from around the country who fielded their best sailors to compete. Twenty races were sailed over four days in the Opening Series, with the top 14 boats advancing to a two-race Medal Series on the final afternoon when scores were doubled for each race, intensifying an already stiff competition.

Waddell, 27, and his team of Doug Sabin, Duncan Swain, and Miranda Bakos, finished 18 of 20 races sailed in the Opening Series inside of the top five and won the regatta by sixteen points.

New York Yacht Club, skippered by Peter Levesque, finished second, and Mystic River Mudheads Sailing Association, skippered by Peter Linn, took third, winning a tiebreaker with Eastern Yacht Club, which scored fourth in a repeat of its 2022 result. An impressive showing by Detroit’s Bayview Yacht Club rounded out the top five.

“Winning a second time feels amazing!” says Waddell. “It’s never been done before; no other club has won twice so we are happy to be the first ones to do it. I am sure everyone at home is thrilled.”

Waddell credits his hugely successful Northeastern team for their epic repeat performance. “We all did this two years ago with exactly the same team,” he says Waddell. “Our main trimmer, Doug is CYC’s Rear Commodore and a Sonar world champion. He really gets the boat going fast around the course all the time. Duncan does bow and trims jib for us and he brings a great energy to the boat. Miranda has won almost every regatta she has ever tried to win, she’s extremely good and a constant on the boat; she keeps the three guys in line and focused. We have a tremendous amount of trust in each other.”

No longer a Resolute Cup rookie, Waddell knew coming in that he’d be up against a spectacularly competitive fleet; from the outset, the focus was on keeping their scores low.

“We knew it was going to be a super deep fleet,” says Waddell. “Sonars are pretty even boats and everyone here is very good at sailing. We knew it was going to be tight racing. We reviewed results from 2018, which was a similar format to this year and saw that the winners averaged about a six, so we had that number in the back of our heads of what we were trying to average out over the course of the regatta. I think we did better than that. Friday was our best and most fun day, we were consistent all day and when the breeze came up a little bit, our team was just super dialed, we were in the groove, super-fast, and were able to get a lot of really good scores; it just all came together.”

Following the conclusion of the Opening Series on Saturday, the Medal Series fleet endured a long wait for a marginal breeze to eventuate, causing the Corinthian Yacht Club team just a little anxiety. But at the end of the day, Waddell and his formidable crew had the event wrapped up.

“The conditions were pretty sketchy—puffy and shifty—which made it unclear what side was going to be favored so that certainly made it tight,” says Waddell. “We waited for a few hours for the medal races to start which made me anxious. Going into the last medal race we were 26 points up on New York so they would have had to win, and we would have had to get last in order to not win the regatta. Our strategy was, ‘Hey, we just need to beat one boat. Let’s start in the middle, have a conservative start and just play the fleet.’”

Waddell is already looking out to next year’s Invitational Cup; after taking second in 2023, the Corinthian team is going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2025.

“This is the first checkmark to get into the Invitational, and now we have our eyes set on climbing to the top of the mountain at that regatta and getting back there to have a strong finish—we have an amazing team to accomplish that,” says Waddell. “We have great teammates back home at the Corinthian Yacht Club who support us, it’s really a fantastic family culture, we encourage each other, push each other hard at practice, and it pays off at these regattas.”

A notoriously challenging event for newcomers given the high premium on talent, Charleston Yacht Club put on a convincing performance at their first Resolute Cup to finish 11th overall. Three of the team—David Dabney, Joe Pitcavage and John Colarusso—sailed together on the College of Charleston sailing team, while Megan Riddle-Tracy was on the College of Charleston team in later years. With no experience racing together in Newport and little in the Sonar, the team’s strategy coming into the event was to observe the old guard.

“We watched closely the people who sail these boats often to try to figure out little tips, how to make them go fast, how to stay in clean air and keep the boat going fast, that was our plan,” says Dabney. “It’s been top competition; at the top weather mark a boat length and a half is the difference between top five and bottom five, so tough racing, but a lot of fun. Next time we’ll feel more confident knowing the racecourses, the tide and current, it would be nice to have more inside information on that, but it wasn’t a factor holding us back—we had plenty of other things holding us back!”

The Corinthian Spirit Award presented by Helly Hansen goes to the team that exhibits the best Corinthian spirit both on and off the water, as voted by all competitors as well as the Organizing Authority. This year it was awarded to Little Traverse Yacht Club, skippered by veteran Scott Sellers.

“This is my third time doing this regatta, I haven’t done it in 10 years but I had the opportunity this year between work and family to pull it off so I’m really grateful to be here, I couldn’t turn it down,” says Sellers. “Sailing out of Harbour Court with this level of competition is a special experience. I like racing the Sonar, they’re equal so it makes for great tight racing, and the New York Yacht Club does a first-class job of throwing good events. It’s so great to see so many old friends and to meet a lot of new friends. NYYC does a great job of making it happen.”

Brad Ruetenik at the I-14 World Championship

Three SDYC members recently competed in the International 14 Worlds in Torbole Italy.  Cameron Puckey on his Hollum designed I-14 and JP Barnes sailed with me on my Bieker 6 I-14. 

The 2024 International 14 World Championships were held on Lake Garda in Torbole Italy. Torbole is next door to the better known Riva Del Garda. Both clubs sail on the same water which is on most all sailors bucket list of locations to sail, certainly in the skiff sailing crowd. Seventy boats from six different countries were present.

Great Racing and Sportsmanship Shine Under Clear Skies at the 7th Annual San Diego OCR

The 7th annual San Diego Olympic Classes Regatta (OCR) rolled out on a perfect June weekend. The classic San Diego "June Gloom" burned off quickly and a nice westerly filled in for the majority of both days. With winds ranging from 7-14 kts, and modest little swells running down the course, 28 sailors in three classes completed seven races on a trapezoid course located just south of Point Loma on the Coronado Roads.

INSA Junior Sabot Nationals Comes Back to San Diego July 29-August 1

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2024 INSA Junior Sabot Nationals, which will be held at San Diego Yacht Club July 29 through August 1! Make sure to register online before 1700 on June 14 to avoid late entry fees.

For the first time since 1962, the INSA Junior Sabot Nationals is returning to SDYC, making it an unprecedented event in the modern history of the Junior Sabot Nationals. While this marks an exciting new development for the Sabot Fleet, it is also a return to form in many ways, with a qualification series limiting the championship series to 120 boats and the Cove Cup Consolation Regatta.

Co-Chairs Traci Miller and John Burnham and the Star World Championship Committee are committed to making this championship a top-notch experience for sailors and spectators alike.

2024 SDYC Yachting Cup Delivers Thrilling Finale Amidst Blustery Conditions

As a blustery weather front cleared Sunday morning to reveal clear blue skies and white caps at sea, sailors on the final day of Yachting Cup were excited to get out on the water in some 'sporty' conditions.

Light Winds, with Heavy Competition

What's Yachting Cup without on the water fierce competition, tasteful strategy, and a hint of chaos? The outside courses on the Coronado Roads gave way to quite the interesting turn of events for some. Though the course was square with light and shifty winds, there was still plenty of energy in the air to create that chaos.

Results – Coastal Pointscore – Lion Island Race

The first-ever race of the new Coastal Pointscore series kicked off with the Lion Island Race (part of the Club Marine Ocean Pointscore) on Saturday, 14 September. In a competitive start at 11:35 AM, Smuggler , skippered by Sebastian Bohm, led the charge out of Sydney Heads, setting the pace for the fleet. With steady winds building throughout the day, Smuggler claimed victory on handicap with a corrected time of 5:30:06 after just over four hours of racing.

Odin, skippered by Matt Hanning, took second place with a corrected time of 6:01:53, while Ragtime , helmed by Steve Watson, finished third in 7:20:08. The rest of the fleet, including Jupiter (DH) and Cyrene 3 , battled in the dying breeze as the afternoon turned to evening, rounding out an exciting start to the Coastal Pointscore.

The series continues with more challenges ahead, as boats prepare for the next coastal race, Flinders Islet Race (part of the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore)
