Sir Ben Ainslie on America’s Cup New Partnership

Sir Ben Ainslie has announced a new partnership poised to reshape the America’s Cup. The collaboration involves the five founding teams of the prestigious sailing competition – including Great Britain’s Athena Racing – and aims to modernize the event through enhanced commercialization and improved spectator engagement. Ainslie believes this unified approach will revitalize the America’s Cup, making it more accessible and appealing to a wider audience. The partnership seeks to build upon recent successes for British sailing, such as the national team’s victory in the Abu Dhabi SailGP final, securing their first SailGP title.
