Australian Tom Slingsby took the helm of Oracle Team USA’s AC45 at the America’s Cup World Series in Naples with a goal: to prove he’s just as much a helmsman as a tactician.

Veteran Sailing World contributor and America’s Cup historian Steve Tsuchiya is in Italy for the sole America’s Cup World Series stop in 2013. He’s taken two rides on AC45s during practice and is catching the regatta from shore and on photoboats. Here’s his first gallery.
Curtis Blewett enjoys his time away from sailing, but after a few years off to recharge, he’s ready to make another run at the Auld Mug as part of Artemis Racing.
Hop on board Artemis Racing’s modified AC45 as they practice foiling.
On a Monday in February, two America’s Cup syndicates met for the first serious AC72 sparring session on San Francisco Bay. One team came away quite pleased. The other had to take comfort in knowing where they stand.
The French solo multihull master Francis Joyon is aiming to own the four biggest speed sailing records, which he calls, appropriately, the Grand Slam.
The MOD70 has attracted interest and spectators, and delivered on being a relatively safe yet fun multihull class. But the problem is that the sponsors are not able to turn the spending spigot tap on again, or at least not just yet.
With three months remaining until the 34th America’s Cup officially kicks off, the architect of this new Cup remains confident both in his concept and his team.
The first MOD70 campaign sets up shop in the United States. Orion Racing, with Cam Lewis, plans to train in San Francisco this summer.
Even though they’re latecomers to the game, Luna Rossa has been quietly working away in Auckland to prepare for the America’s Cup. Team manager Max Sirena gives us the scoop.
