Imagine being 21 and being handed the wheel of an AC40. That scenario is about to play out for a select few across the globe as we head into the Cup with the Youth and Womens' racing. We are jealous, we admit it, but we did want to find out what preparations have been going on and find out as much background as possible. So we spoke to Jack Ferguson, a member of the final squad for Team Australia Challenge 2024. Enjoy!

Is this a World Exclusive?

Britton Ward, the Lead Hull Designer from American Magic for this Cup cycle, talks to Bar Karate about the latest cup designs, the design process and everything Americas Cup related. It was a fantastic discussion. We have a great relationship with Brit. He was on Ep72 talking Farr X2. And there is plenty to learn if you are a Cup fan. Enjoy!

She is raising awareness and money for the charities Polar Bears International and Ocean Conservancy, to support them in their work to help protect the future of the Arctic.
