Five Alive

And a few more scrambling to get over the line by January 31st...

The big bear woke up this morning from its hibernation deep underground and, surveying the scene, rightfully reclaimed its place at the top of the food chain. Yes the America’s Cup roared back into life today with the announcement that five founding teams are committed and ready to not only sail but to guide the world’s greatest sporting event into what is looking like a very bright future.

Speaking at the announcement, Grant Dalton CEO of Emirates Team New Zealand said: “This is about preserving what makes the America's Cup extraordinary while building a sustainable model that benefits everyone who shares our passion for this great competition. We are securing the position of the America's Cup at the pinnacle of innovation and professional sport for decades to come.”
