We’re excited to announce our support for Sail Team BCN as they strive for the Unicredit Youth And Puig Women’s America’s Cup. Our partnership involves outfitting the team with SailProof tablets installed on their training boats and tenders, thus allowing them to gather valuable data during their practice sessions. This data will be indispensable in fine-tuning their performance and giving them the competitive edge they need to excel on race day. 

In a few months, Sail Team BCN will be competing in the Unicredit Youth And Puig Women’s America’s Cup, and SailProof is proud to be part of their journey, both on and off the water. Our SailProof tablets have been integral to their training, helping them utilize data to enhance their performance on the racecourse. The significance of this technological partnership cannot be emphasized enough. In the fiercely competitive world of yacht racing, even minor performance enhancements can tip the scales in favor of victory. With SailProof tablets, Sail Team BCN can analyze metrics such as wind conditions, the speed of its AC40, and course trajectories, enabling them to refine their strategies and maximize their performance on race day.
