He therefore decided to launch an awareness program for this more than 100-year old race, recalling its history and present. What better way to do that than by replying to the first winner, the one who started the regatta?

42.40 m long and built in moulded wood in 1995, the sailboat will not fail to attract attention in its path. The operation is also an opportunity to renew its wardrobe through a partnership with North Sails, which is replacing its 547 m² of sail area with a classic looking dacron.

The beginning of the route is already set. The schooner will sail up the east coast of the United States throughout 2016, then will be in the Caribbean in 2017 to join the Cup in Bermuda. Another meeting with the America's Cup Series is planned in New York.
2018 Heading for Europe
After the Bermuda Cup, Troy Sears wants to head to the old continent. "I hope this tour will bring me all over the world. If I stay the course, I should come back to San Diego," says the businessman, passionate.
European amateurs are waiting for him on a firm footing!
