Spanish billions on offer to get third Cup hosting

June 20, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

The group behind Valencia’s bid to host the 37th America’s Cup believes they can access a €750 billion fund established by the European Union to assist member countries to recover from the economic effects of the COVID pandemic.

Consideration as to how Emirates Team New Zealand could leverage as a demonstration of the technology, including the use of artificial intelligence, composite design, and engineering, use of hydrogen propulsion technology, adaption of foiling technology into other applications such as fast, wakeless ferries was missing from the NZ Government’s funding offer for the next America’s Cup. Also missing was the use of the team and the spectacular AC75 as a point of difference to drive a post-COVID “we’re open for business” tourism drive.

Those themes are a key part of the Valencia bid to access the €750 billion Next Generation EU fund of which Spain has a €17 billion share.

“Spain is looking to stimulate the economic recovery by promoting its brand, Marca España, to reactivate the critical sectors as tourism (teams and families alone injected €100+ million in the economy during the 2007 edition)”, says the group in a written media statement.

“Valencia’s successful history in hosting America’s Cup (2007 and 2010, with the 2007 event arguably one of the most successful America’s Cup ever), its existing, ready-for-use, tailored infrastructures made positioning Valencia’s as potential host for the next event obvious,” the statement continued.

Valencia was selected over Cascais, Portugal to host the 2007 America’s Cup for the successful defense by the Swiss Alinghi team, who had uplifted the prestigious trophy from its case in the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in 2003. The selection of Valencia as the 2007 venue triggered a massive redevelopment of the harbor and waterfront area on a much bigger scale than has been undertaken in Auckland.

In addition to the Swiss defender, those facilities were used by 11 challengers, for the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup followed by America’s Cup – which was a rematch, with the roles reversed, between the 2003 defender and challenger.

They were used again in 2010 when Valencia was ordered by the New York Supreme Court to be the venue for the Deed of Gift match between Larry Ellison’s BMW Oracle Racing and Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi.

The process of obtaining the exclusive rights to candidate Valencia as host for the next America’s Cup has been carried out by Francesco de Leo and Niccolò Porzio di Camporotondo (Kaufman & Partners/H2O Riders Science & Management) and Carlos de Beltran (Real Club Nautico de Valencia).

The Real Club Náutico de Valencia group felt they could not submit a credible proposal to the Spanish government to access the Next Generation EU fund while the 90-day negotiation was in progress.

“We made it clear that we were not going to interact until the 90-day period was up”, a spokesman told Sail-World. “We have been lining up private investors to underwrite the financial needs of the rights holders, after that we are going to align the event with the Next Generation European Fund.”

“Our workgroup is fully committed to bringing America’s Cup back to Valencia. Over the past months, work has been proceeding with investors and leading technology companies that share the vision of making the event in Valencia a new standard for promoting sustainability and the journey to meet the UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Now we must double our efforts to succeed in this endeavor to promote Spain and Valencia as a world-class lab for innovation,” said Francesco de Leo.

“Now is time for action. The America’s Cup is a special event. It can greatly benefit Spain and Valencia, particularly if a worthy legacy program is implemented. We acknowledge the other candidates but believe that local and national investors added to Valencia’s weather, welcoming culture, strong operational and cost-reduction assets will play a key role in convincing the rights holders,” said Porzio. A substantial document was lodged in February in support of the Host venue application.

Four or five venues are believed to have been shortlisted including Valencia, UK (Cowes), Ireland (Cork), the Middle East. It is believed that Auckland is still in the mix, even a front-runner, but is obviously in a more competitive situation against venues that have access to different sources of funds. The Next Generation EU Fund is part-loan part-grant and must be used for specific or agreed projects.

A decree is still in place allowing America’s Cup teams to fast-track their way through planning and similar legislation, as well as the import of gear and equipment.

In addition to the areas developed for the 2007 America’s Cup, new areas of flat paved space have been created, with power and services installed, which could hold up to six teams if a multi-challenger event were held in Valencia. Many of the original team sites around the Darcena are still available. “We could be ready to go in two weeks,” the RCNV spokesman said. “A new commercial extension for the port of Valencia has been made which will provide sheltered water in an SW breeze to provide better racing for the foiling AC75’s.”

Two AC teams have already made inquiries about training in Valencia.

Prada Cup final: America’s Cup 2021 schedule, race times, TV channel

February 13, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

The first day of the PRADA Cup Final was a double for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, with the Italian team taking the lead of the provisional ranking clearly leading both races and appearing just a click faster than the British team. Still, a long way to go to the end being a 13-races series, with the Italians in need of five more wins to go through to the America’s Cup 2021 Live Stream. INEOS TEAM UK still needing 7 wins.

“Who will win?” has been one question that has been doing the rounds more than any other but, with a range of weather conditions over the next few days, the prospect of a quick answer to the most popular question in Auckland seems unlikely, leaving the racing to deliver the answers.

The sea breeze built quickly, white caps were now spread across the course area. Race 2 looked set to be a completely different match.

In the pre-start, INEOS TEAM UK came smoking in on port tack and headed out towards the right-hand side of the pre-start box. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli gybed and followed, a duel looked set. INEOS TEAM UK was leading the charge but they were also early for the start and keen to burn some time.

While the physical gap between the two closed, the start was even, both at pace, both at full speed. If there was an advantage it was to INEOS TEAM UK who were to leeward and slightly ahead, a position that Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli struggled to live with as they sat in the turbulent air off the back of the British. Seconds later they were forced to tack off. Advantage INEOS TEAM UK.

But when the pair came back together, INEOS TEAM UK was on port tack and had to give way, they chose to dip behind Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli. In the seconds that followed, with the Italians on port and the British on starboard, it was Luna Rossa that appeared to gain in a slight lift in the breeze. And when the pair came back together this advantage was enough for them to cross in front of the British to pass through Gate 1 with a lead of 11 seconds. INEOS TEAM UK rounded the same mark but gybed shortly after they had rounded. Meanwhile, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli pressed on towards the right-hand side of the course.

Speeds were now into the 43-45kt range with INEOS TEAM UK generally a notch quicker and slightly lower in the heading. But by Gate 2 distance between the two had grown to 270m, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli choosing the right-hand mark, INEOS TEAM UK the left.

From the aerial shots is seemed clear that the left-hand side of the course had more breeze, but neither crew needed to be in the air to see this, both talking on their onboard comms about the left-hand side is the favored route up the course.

Through Gate 3 Luna Rossa had edged out a few more seconds to around 19 seconds ahead as the pair chose opposite marks. Once again, the Italian performance was silky smooth. This time on the downwind leg the speeds were much more closely matched with nothing between them. And in the steady sea breeze, no real opportunity for INEOS TEAM UK to make up the distance.

On the last windward leg, INEOS TEAM UK had hauled back a few meters, but time was running out to reel in the 270m that would be required to get back in touch with Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.

At the top Gate, 5 Luna Rossa were now 26 seconds ahead as they went around the left-hand mark. The British took the right-hand mark in a bid to try something different once again. But the Italian performance remained solid. A few minutes later they crossed the finish line 26 seconds ahead to take their second win of the day.

When is the Prada Cup?

The 36th America’s Cup match itself takes place on March 6-15 but the Prada Cup series is understandably a lot longer. The round robins took place between Jan 15-24, with the semi-finals from Jan 29-Feb 2. The Prada Cup final, which includes Great Britain as they topped the round robins, will be from Feb 13-Feb 22 with racing taking place between the hours of 03:00-05:00 GMT.

What channel is it on and how can I watch it?

Every race of the America’s Cup series will be shown live on Sky Sports, normally Sky Sports Mix. The BBC will be also be showing the semi-final and final of the Prada Cup, as well as decisive race days during the America’s Cup match itself. The America’s Cup YouTube channel also has a live stream.

What is the Prada Cup schedule?

Round robin: Jan 15-24 – Completed with Great Britain finishing top

Semifinal: Jan 29-Feb 2 (United States v Italy) – Completed with Italy victorious

Final: Feb 13-Feb 22 (Great Britain v Italy) – between 0300 and 0500 GMT

Today’s races have been held on Race Course A, the Northern playfield in front of thousands of spectator boats. The first race was raced with wind between 6-9kt from NNE, whereas in the second race the breeze increased to up to 17 knots and the top speed reached was 47.82 knots.

Races will resume tomorrow 14th of February at 4:00 PM (NZT), two races are planned, weather permitting. The PRADA Cup Final is a best-of-13 series with a team needing to win seven races to advance to the America’s Cup Match and face the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand on the 6th of March.

INEOS Team UK

The underlying cooperative period of the Prada Cup saw INEOS Team UK stay undefeated as they piled up six triumphs.

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli then oversaw three triumphs and was crushed multiple times. Fundamentally, the three misfortunes were from their three races against the British group.

The Italians come into the finals looking for their first success against INEOS Team UK and will have no uncertainty have dismantled their past experiences to strategise a course to triumph over their adversaries.

Luna Rossa Challenge (Team Italy)

The Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team are driven by captain and group chief Max Sirena, a double-cross victor who is participating in his seventh America’s Cup challenge.

Likewise dashing for the Italians is three-time Olympian Francesco Bruni. The 47-year-old made his Olympic presentation at Atlanta in 1996 where he completed twelfth in the laser class. His endeavors at Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 didn’t yield a decoration however his profundity of involvement will be a resource out adrift.

Bruni is extremely acquainted with his present group, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, as he originally hustled with them back in 2003 when it was known as Luna Rossa Challenge.

Ainslie has been dashing in the America’s Cup since 2005 and carries with him an abundance of involvement. He was essential in Oracle Team USA’s noteworthy turnaround triumph against Emirates Team New Zealand in 2013.

America’s Cup 2021 | INEOS TEAM UK Principal & Skipper

February 13, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

INEOS TEAM UK is a British sailing team based in Portsmouth, England. The team was established in 2014 with the ambition of winning the America’s Cup for Great Britain and to ‘bring the cup home’ to the United Kingdom. The team joined forces with INEOS in 2018. In 2021 the team will challenge for the 36th America’s Cup 2021 Live Stream in Auckland, New Zealand, and will represent the Royal Yacht Squadron.

The team is owned and backed by INEOS Founder and Chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe and led by the most successful Olympic sailor of all time, Sir Ben Ainslie, who is Team Principal and Skipper.

Formation and facilities

In January 2012, Ben Ainslie announced the formation of a British team to compete in the America’s Cup, called Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR). His team competed in the AC45 class for the remaining races of the 2011–13 America’s Cup World Series to develop experience and generate interest from sponsors. The team was also known as J.P. Morgan BAR in this early period and competed for the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.

In January 2014, Ainslie began the process of raising £100M to fund the team, as well as development of racing yachts which was projected to take 30% of the budget. The project was initially backed by 12 core supporters including Sir Charles Dunstone and Sir Keith Mills. In December 2014 Ben Ainslie Racing and Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT) announced that they would work together on the America’s Cup project, with Formula One designer Adrian Newey leading RBAT’s efforts regarding design and engineering.J.P. Morgan indicated that it was not planning to continue sponsorship and the team began the search for a new title sponsor.

In April 2014, as part of the launch of Rear Admiral Rob Stevens’s ‘Transforming Solent’ report, which makes 36 recommendations with 15 prioritised at an investment cost of £91M, Ainslie announced plans to build a team headquarters in the Solent area. Having reviewed a number of sites, the project put forward plans to develop an operational building at Camber Dock, as part of the wider redevelopment of Portsmouth Harbour. On 18 June, Portsmouth Council approved plans for the £12M main operations building, which Ainslie confirmed would be built subject to £8M of requested UK Government-backed development funding. On 1 July 2014, in a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron, central government funding of £7.5M towards the operational building’s construction was confirmed, with construction reliant on final planning permission from the council and the project raising the additional required funds. The operational building is also where the boats are designed and manufactured, and contains administration and full crew development facilities. The design was developed by HGP Architects, which also designed the nearby Spinnaker Tower. The building was opened in June 2015 and featured approximately 400 solar panels generating 130MWh/y, ventilation features and insulation to improve its sustainability.

In September 2018 it was announced that sailing clothing brand Henri Lloyd would continue its long partnership with Sir Ben by supplying the kit for INEOS Team UK in the pursuit of the 36th challenge of the America’s Cup in 2021.

INEOS TEAM UK RESULTS & STANDINGS

It was not the start INEOS TEAM UK wanted in the PRADA Cup Final, losing both the races in the opening day of the first-to-seven-win series.

Racing took place in light conditions on Course A, the most northerly course available to the Race Committee on the Hauraki Gulf, leading to a steadier north-easterly sea breeze across the course, as opposed to the much shiftier conditions on the in-shore stadium courses previously seen in the Round Robin series.

After winning the Round Robin Series, INEOS TEAM UK elected for starboard entry in the first race of the PRADA Cup Final. The opening race of the Final, however, took place in very light conditions, only just above the lower wind limits, and was effectively decided in the pre-start.

After entering the start box smoothly in breeze of 7-8 knots, GBR’s BRITANNIA came off her foils in the first tack. The Italians’ Luna Rossa came close to falling off her foils too but managed to stay up and consequently built a commanding lead from the start. ITA crossed the first top mark 1:20min ahead of GBR after the first upwind leg. Whilst the north-easterly sea breeze slowly strengthened over the course of the race, ITA maintained their early lead to win the race by a comfortable 1:52 delta.

Over the course of the first race and into the second race of the day the sea breeze continued to come in stronger and picked up to a steady 14-16 knots across Course A.

The second pre-start of the day was a much tighter affair with both boats crossing the starting line evenly. ITA, however, crossed ahead of GBR on the first cross with priority on starboard tack, leading to the Italian team rounding the first top mark 11 seconds ahead of GBR.

Whilst the left-hand side of the course had stronger winds, the steady breeze across the course and the lack of major shifts meant GBR were unable to find a passing lane and ITA held on to their lead, ultimately winning the race by a delta of 26 seconds.

Speaking about the day’s racing, Team Principal and Skipper Ben Ainslie said:

“The first race was in pretty light conditions. One boat got off their foils in the pre-start and one couldn’t and the Italians ended up with quite a big jump straight off the line. That was the story of the race. We just have to do the best we can in those conditions and keep pushing.

“In the second race the sea breeze was building, and it was much closer. It was a pretty even start with a close first beat. The Italians did a good job, they just sailed that slightest bit faster and were a little bit better around the course.

“It was a pretty steady breeze out on Course A. Once one boat got in front it was hard to get past without the wind shifts and the passing lanes they bring. They didn’t make many mistakes so credit to them.

“It was a frustrating day but there is a long way to go in this series. We’ll continue working hard to get the best possible performance out of the boat we can. The forecast tomorrow is for more breeze so hopefully we’ll be able to get stuck in and have some close racing.”

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team, initially named Prada Challenge, Luna Rossa Challenge, is an Italian boat dashing organization made initially to seek the 2000 America’s Cup. It won the Louis Vuitton Cup on their first endeavor in 2000, however, it then lost the America’s Cup coordinate against the protecting hero group, Team New Zealand.

Luna Rossa tested again for the 2003 America’s Cup yet was taken out in the Louis Vuitton Cup’s semi-finals phase. In the 2007 America’s Cup, held in Valencia, Spain, the group arrived at the last of the Louis Vuitton Cup yet was against Team New Zealand crushed.

When the opposition moved to AC72 sailboats for the 2013 America’s Cup, held in San Francisco, Luna Rossa was the last group to challenge, entering an organization with Team New Zealand. The Italian group arrived at the last of the Louis Vuitton Cup, losing to the Kiwi group. While Luna Rossa intended to partake in the 2017 America’s Cup, setting up another base in Cagliari and beginning advancement on the new boat, it pulled out from the opposition in dissent of choice to change the class yachts to the AC50 sailboat.

Consistently 0.6-1.7 million tons of microfibers are delivered into the sea. Under 5 millimeters in measurement, these tiny particles are presently found all through marine and earthbound biological systems everywhere in the world. The expanding utilization of plastic and engineered strands, including the apparel business, will probably have exceptional ramifications on the climate. Thus, the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli group is effectively dedicated to alleviating the ecological effect through solid activities. On account of cooperation with The Woolmark Company, elite and imaginative pieces of clothing have been intended for the cruising group’s uniform, made with high rates of common strands, for example, Merino fleece: a biodegradable and inexhaustible material, with a low effect both in its creation cycle and removal and with unprecedented breathability and waterproof qualities.

SAFETY ONBOARD

The AC75s are fantastic boats equipped for arriving at rates of around 50 bunches (roughly 100 km/h or 58mph) but, on the other hand, are mind-boggling and difficult to oversee. The bodies may go through abrupt solid decelerations and even upset. Accordingly, the mariners on board should be appropriately prepared and prepared for the most extraordinary circumstances.

America’s Cup 2021: NYYC American Magic Team USA Info & Updates

February 12, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

American Magic sail for the New York Yacht Club and the celebrated club has sponsored their group to get America’s Cup 2021 Live Stream Patriot fixed on schedule and to be serious after it was indicating such acceptable speed before the sensational overturn. NYYC AMERICAN MAGIC commodore Christopher Culver said the group had just demonstrated they could conquer hindrances in a brandishing climate so intensely affected by the Covid pandemic.

“To see our group go from practically certain triumph to nearly losing the boat in a couple of short minutes was grievous. I’m incredibly thankful that nobody was truly harmed,” Culver said.

“The street ahead will be testing. In any case, after communicating with the American Magic group in recent years, I know there could be no better team of mariners, developers, fashioners, architects, and backing staff on the planet. We will get Patriot back on the water.

“It is difficult to make an America’s Cup organization without any preparation and be serious. Yet, as the initial five legs of the race (against Luna Rossa) demonstrated, American Magic did precisely that, fabricating a boat and team sufficiently quick to take on the world.

“We are colossally pleased with this group. I anticipate applauding Patriot sooner rather than later.”

Culver expressed gratitude toward the other three America’s Cup groups – protectors Emirates Team New Zealand, and individual challengers Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and INEOS Team UK – alongside the America’s Cup Event staff, neighborhood fire, and salvage workforce, and Coastguard New Zealand for their “prompt and steadfast help” in the salvage and rescue activity.

“Without it, I don’t think we would’ve had the option to keep Patriot above water,” he said.

ABOUT THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB

The New York Yacht Club (NYYC) was begun on July 30, 1844, when John Cox Stevens welcomed eight companions to his yacht Gimcrack, secured in New York Harbor. The nine who met set out to shape the NYYC and named Stevens commodore. Three days subsequently, the new commodore declared, individuals would withdraw on a yacht-club journey to Newport. Consequently, started the chronicled association between the NYYC and Newport, RI.

The NYYC’s first clubhouse was implicit 1845 ashore given by Commodore Stevens, at the family bequest at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, disregarding the Hudson River. (The home is currently the site of the Stevens Institute of Technology, supplied by Edwin Stevens, John’s sibling, and the fourth commodore of this club.) The clubhouse, a Gothic restoration building, authoritatively opened on July 15, 1845. This was followed the following day by the primary club regatta, charged as a “preliminary of speed.” This turned into the “Yearly Regatta.” Only the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I and II, and the death of New York Senator Robert Kennedy have made it be dropped. Today, the NYYC has its unmistakable clubhouse on New York’s West 44th Street – a National Historic Landmark – and an on-the-water clubhouse in Newport, RI. The principal clubhouse, “Station 10,” is on the Newport property.

Today, the NYYC conducts the previously mentioned NYYC Annual Regatta introduced by Rolex, Race Week at Newport introduced by Rolex, and Transatlantic races – the following one, the Transatlantic Race 2019, will be in June 2019 – related to the Royal Yacht Squadron, the Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Storm Trysail Club. The club additionally leads the biennial Rolex NYYC Invitational Cup for Corinthian (novice) mariners addressing their yacht clubs and countries, its buddy occasion for U.S. yacht clubs, the Resolute Cup, and public, North American, and big showdowns. The NYYC likewise runs and partakes in various Team Racing Events and Cruising exercises.

ABOUT THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB 1844

Dashing boats has for some time been a subject of the NYYC. The Isle of Wight in the Solent has for quite some time been the focal point of yachting in England. In 1851, a clipper painted dark showed up there hoping to dominate races. This was the yacht America, possessed by John Cox Stevens, the main commodore of the NYYC and other club individuals. (Photograph shows America, victor of a race in 1851 in England and a prize that came to be known as America’s Cup.)

America crossed the Atlantic on her base and provoked all English yachts to a match race. No yacht was able to race her, in any case.

At last, America joined a chaotic situation on Friday, August 22, around the Isle of Wight. Watching the race, which included 15 English yachts and America, was Queen Victoria, who asked, “Which is first?” Told it was America, she asked, “Which is second?”

“Ok, Your Majesty, there is no second,” was the answer. Or on the other hand, so the story goes. America won the Royal Yacht Squadron’s “Hundred Guinea Cup,” later considered America’s Cup to pay tribute to the yacht that won it. The NYYC guarded that prize against 1870-1983. This has been portrayed by writers as “the longest series of wins in games.”

The NYYC was begun seven years prior, on July 30, 1844, when John Cox Stevens welcomed eight companions to his yacht Gimcrack, secured in New York Harbor. The nine who met made plans to shape the NYYC and named Stevens commodore. The subject of the club was, back then, to race cruising yachts. Three days consequently, the new commodore declared, individuals would withdraw on a yacht-club journey to Newport. Hence, started the recorded association between the NYYC and Newport, RI.

On July 12, 1857, enduring individuals from the American organization gave the silver prize they won in England, the “Hundred Guinea Cup,” to the NYYC. They considered it America’s Cup, to pay tribute to the yacht that won it. They welcomed yacht clubs around the globe to contend and guaranteed, “Cordial rivalry between outside nations.” Finishing first in America’s Cup, NYYC boats did with astonishing routineness. Boats flying the club banner clutched that prize for a very long time, or until 1983. During that stewardship, NYYC boats won 81 of 93 races. The success in 1851 in England and afterward 24 protections, from 1870 to 1980, has been depicted by columnists as the “longest series of wins in games.”

The principal transoceanic race was held in the colder time of the year 1866. James Gordon Bennett Jr., distributer of the New York Herald and prospective commodore of the NYYC, was the simply proprietor to go on the race that began on December 11. On Christmas day, his Henrietta completed first in a three-boat race. Papers named it, “the Great Ocean Race.”

The NYYC began another celebrated transoceanic race in 1905, from New York to the Lizard in England. The race was won by Atlantic, an NYYC vessel. Her season of 12 days, four hours, one moment went on for a very long time or until 2005 as the Transatlantic Race Record for monohull yachts.

In 1898, the NYYC was billeted on the second floor of a house on Madison Avenue. It was chockablock with “models, individuals and memorabilia,” composed the New York Daily Tribune. It was then that Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan paralyzed individual individuals by reporting he would give three parts on West 44th Street to assemble another clubhouse. The structure, planned in the beaux-expressions style by Whitney Warren and Charles D. Wetmore, opened in 1901. It is known for its Model Room and Library. The clubhouse is 112 years of age. “Aside from the nonappearance of movement, one may extravagant oneself adrift,” is how the New York Times portrayed it in 1906.

In 1983, the NYYC completed “second” in America’s Cup. A critical piece of the club was no more. At that point in 1987, it obtained Harbor Court in Newport, the previous summer home of NYYC Commodore John Nicholas Brown. At the point when it opened in 1988, 1,500 individuals and visitors joined in.

Harbor Court made another energy and center at the NYYC. In 1994, it facilitated its Sesquicentennial Celebration, for individuals and companions. In 1998, the NYYC facilitated Race Week at Newport, introduced by Rolex, the Disabled World Sailing Championship, and the ILC Maxi World Championship. In 2000, as a feature of Race Week, the NYYC facilitated the Rolex IMS Offshore World Championship. In 2003, the club facilitated the Laser Masters North Americans and the Swan North Americans. In 2005, it facilitated the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge, the Rolex Swan American Regatta, the 12-Meter Worlds, and the Gray Goose ISAF Team Racing Worlds. The eighth version of Race Week at Newport, introduced by Rolex, was in 2012. The NYYC has additionally facilitated the IFDS Blind Sailing World Championship.

Youth, as well, is being served at one of the most seasoned yacht clubs in America. Harbor Court has twice facilitated the Optimist Dinghy Association US Championship and the IYRU O’Neill World Youth Sailing Championship. In 2000, Harbor Court facilitated the U.S. Junior Championships for Sears, Bemis, and Smythe Trophies. In 2002, the NYYC facilitated the ICSA Sloop National Championship with Brown University. In 2008, the club facilitated the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) National Championships.

The club is amazingly dynamic in Team Racing and matches dashing. It bought 13 Sonars that are devoted to these exercises. In 2002, the NYYC facilitated the UBS Challenge – a global match-hustling title.

In 1997, the NYYC facilitated at its Manhattan clubhouse the Atlantic Challenge Cup, an overseas race for the world’s biggest yachts. The course was from the site of the Sandy Hook Light off New York Harbor to the Lizard in England – a similar course Atlantic cruised in 1905.

In 2003, the NYYC upheld another Transatlantic Race, the DaimlerChrysler North Atlantic Challenge – coordinated by Norddeutscher Regatta Verein. Above 60 yachts hustled across the North Atlantic from Newport, RI, to Cuxhaven, Germany – this is the biggest armada to race across the Atlantic.

In August 2001, the New York Yacht Club got together with the Royal Yacht Squadron for America’s Cup Jubilee, in Cowes, England. This was a weeklong regatta and gathering to commend the 150th commemoration of the regatta that came to be known as America’s Cup. A feature was a race around the Isle of Wight – the course America cruised in 1851.

“For mariners, America’s Cup Jubilee had everything,” composed the New York Times. “Armada dashing, J Boats, vintage gaff riggers, an exceptional assortment of 12-Meters, and the absolute most prominent yachtsmen of any time. It very well may be an additional 150 years before there is another occasion like it.”

The 1997 overseas race – the Atlantic Challenge Cup – was repeated in May 2005, as the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge; the race was facilitated by the NYYC with the help of the Royal Yacht Squadron. Here Atlantic’s then-100-year-old record was obscured by Robert Miller’s Mari-Cha IV. The new NYYC overseas race record, as perceived by the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC), is 9 days, 15 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds. In 2011, the NYYC and the RYS facilitated the Transatlantic Race 2011 (TR 2011) – from Newport, RI to England. Since 1866, there have been 26 overseas races – 12 of which were facilitated by the NYYC.

Since 2009 the NYYC has led the biennial NYYC Invitational Cup introduced by Rolex. The dashing – for yacht club groups from around the planet and Corinthian (beginner) mariners – is in NYYC Swan 42s – the eighth one-plan class made by the New York Yacht Club since 1900. In the primary Invitational Cup in 2009, 19 yacht club groups from 14 nations, from four landmasses contended. The champ was the New York Yacht Club. The second Invitational Cup in 2011 included 22 yacht club groups from 16 countries from six landmasses. The champ was the Royal Canadian Yacht Club.

ABOUT AMERICAN MAGIC

Framed in October 2017 by Bella Mente Racing, Quantum Racing, and the New York Yacht Club, American Magic addresses a joint vision to win America’s Cup, the most noteworthy prize in cruising and the most seasoned prize in global games. American Magic unites two profoundly effective hustling programs with one of the chief yacht clubs on the planet, joined by a mission to win back the Cup, reconnect the American cruising base with the head occasion in the game and hoist the nature of serious cruising in the United States. The name, American Magic, is a gesture to the New York Yacht Club’s celebrated America’s Cup history; a blend of the boat the prize is named for, and the principal boat to shield it.

AMERICA

On August 22, 1851, the 101-foot boat America, worked by New York Yacht Club commodore and originator John Cox Stevens, hustled against 15 English yachts from the Royal Yacht Squadron in the “100 Guinea Cup,” a yearly lap of the Isle of Wight. The meeting America won, completing 8 minutes in front of its nearest rival. The prize was renamed after the victors and gave to the New York Yacht Club, alongside the “Deed of Gift,” indicating that it be held in trust as a never-ending challenge prize. So America’s prize turned into “America’s Cup,” and took up residency across the Atlantic.

MAGIC

No test to race for America’s Cup was given until British head honcho James Lloyd Ashbury’s Cambria, which demonstrated early guarantee during ocean preliminaries in the Solent.

Addressing the Royal Thames Yacht Club, the group of Cambria accepted that the prize could be gotten back and formally presented principal America’s Cup challenge in 1870. Cambria, facing a 17-in number armada of New York Yacht Club boats in New York Harbor, put eighth. Franklin Osgood’s Magic, the general champ, effectively held America’s Cup and turned into the prize’s absolute first safeguard.
