Yann Guichard

Naturally Fast: Extended Interview

This year’s America’s Cup World Series was his first, but Yann Guichard’s experience sailing around buoys and across the Atlantic has served him well. Guichard describes his magic in making Energy Team’s AC45 go fast. Extended interview from our July/August 2013 issue.

Preview: America’s Cup WS San Francisco

With a new team, more boats and more sailors, the second season of the America’s Cup World series will begin on Wednesday, Aug. 22, in San Francisco. The newest team is J.P. Morgan BAR, skippered by Ben Ainslie, who recently won his fifth Olympic gold medal. How will he measure up compared to the skippers who competed in the ACWS 2011-12? Will his undying confidence be enough to overcome Oracle Team USA’s golden boy, James Spithill?

ACWS in Newport: Training Day 1

Yesterday was the Offical Training Day 1 for the America’s Cup World Series in Newport. After an opening press conference, the sailors headed out for some windy practice races. The tension was tangible between ORACLE Team Spithill and Emirates Team New Zealand, for they will be vying for the overall title–Team Spithill currently has a narrow 4 point lead, but that could quickly disappear. Big breeze led to exciting racing, and even a collision with one of the mark boats! Photo Credit: Guilain
