AC40 ACWS @ Cagliari, October 2023

Barcelona team for Youth and Woman's Cups -SailWorld.com

Two AC40s ordered, team base commissioned in Port Vell in Barcelona

Bases

New York Yacht Club American Magic have confirmed they will set up a team base within the Marina Barcelona (MB) 92 superyacht facility. It will be complete in May 2023, "The operational plan will have us moving to Barcelona to meet the July 1st through October 31st, 2023, sailing in the venue on the two AC 40s owned by NYYC American Magic," said Terry Hutchinson, Skipper and President of Sailing Operations at NYYC American Magic.

Like NYYC American Magic, Emirates Team New Zealand is expected to follow the sun for the next two years. Although nothing has been announced, they are expected to work out of Auckland in the 2022/23 Summer sailing season before moving to a base in Barcelona for the northern hemisphere summer and venue-only sailing period running from July 1, 2023, to October 31, 2023. The Kiwi team is expected to return for the 2023/24 Summer sailing season, during which they are expected to launch and work up their new AC75 in the first two quarters of 2024.

Emirates Team New Zealand, like NYYC American Magic and Luna Rossa (ITA), will run a two-base strategy - with home and away bases.

INEOS Britannia has a winter base in Mallorca, while their Barcelona base is built. Alinghi Red Bull Racing is currently operating out of a temporary base in Barcelona while their permanent base is built. Luna Rossa has a long-established base in Sardinia.

Alinghi temporary base - see above
