Thanks for expanding on that. I didn't have time and still need to catch up with some of the videos. Although I posted a link to Vendee Live I didn't have time to watch it. I see that Pip is on it. along with some American guests. Perhaps we will have more boats from Germany, Japan and even the USA in 2024?INEOS TEAM UK jump to the PRADA CUP Final
Excellent news.
INEOS TEAM UK stays unbeaten after what was probably the closest race seen so far on the AC75s, with 9 lead changes throughout the nail biting race against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.
With that result, Sir Ben Ainslie’s team won their the fifth race in a row in the Round Robins. Upon finishing the ‘ghost race’ start successfully it took them to 6 points, enough to qualify directly to the PRADA Cup final.
The Italian Challenger of Record fought until the last jibe of the last leg of a race that was the perfect definition of match race which saw the top speeds exceeding the 50 knot mark for the first time in racing.
