The America’s Cup stands as the ultimate sailing test, where the convergence of skill, strategy, and technology determines victory. Everyone wants to have an advantage in this big competition arena, and as marine technology enthusiasts, our SailProof tablets couldn’t miss this year’s historic event. In both competitions —the 37th Americaʼs Cup and the Unicredit Youth And Puig Women’s America’s Cup—SailProof has put its own grain of sand. In this post, we will show you how.
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.
This marks a historic moment in the America’s Cup as it is the first time women are allowed compete with their own team. This historic milestone reflects the evolving landscape of yacht racing, with women assuming more prominent roles in the sport. Sail Team BCN, with a team of women who rank among the best, will dominate their familiar waters.
But our involvement doesnʼt stop there. SailProof is proud to announce our participation as providers for the 37th America’s Cup. This prestigious competition showcases the world’s most cutting-edge sailboats and finest sailors. From Emirates Team New Zealand to INEOS Britannia, SailProof’s commitment to technological excellence stands out. This highlights the evolving nature of the America’s Cup as a fusion of skill and technology.
As both, a key venue for the America’s Cup and the home of SailProof in Spain, Barcelona provides an ideal setting for this momentous occasion. With its rich maritime history and vibrant sailing community, Barcelona encapsulates the spirit of modernity and future synonymous with the America’s Cup. The Official Opening Ceremony of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup will take place in Barcelona on August 22, 2024, followed by the final Preliminary Regatta and the Louis Vuitton Cup (the Challenger Series), leading to the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Match commencing on October 12.
Our partnership in this iconic event, reaffirms SailProof’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of maritime technology. We’re excited to bring our expertise to the America’s Cup, contributing to sailboat design and performance evolution. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this thrilling adventure and see you in Barcelona with our eyes set on the sea!
