Tudor Team Alinghi showed us what teams never show: their AC75 stripped to a bare carbon shell in the shed in Italy, mid-rebuild for the 38th America's Cup. Niall Myant-Best gets a full tour of the boat from Alinghi's Technical Director Benjamin Muyl and Head of Mechanical Systems Dan Smith. Why the boat came home from Barcelona in pieces. Why they're using a foil bought second-hand from a rival team. The fibre optics buried in every part of the hull, and the how sailors deal with fifty controls onboard. And the multi-million Euro question : why a team that has won the America's Cup twice says it won't win this one - and is rebuilding anyway. The AC75 returns for the America's Cup in summer 2027, with Alinghi's AC40 racing at the preliminary regatta in Naples this September 2026.

Luna Rossa survived a close call and near capsize during training in Cagliari, Italy. Peter Burling was walking aft to inspect the mainsail traveller control when suddenly the boat heeled aggressively to windward, the bow went down and a slow capsize was very narrowly averted. Peter was fine throughout the incident.

Emirates Team New Zealand is putting every department "under the microscope" for crucial performance gains as they target a historic fourth consecutive America's Cup victory. As they enter this new cycle, they aren't hoping to win, they expect to win. Spanning 30 years of triumphant wins and disastrous losses, the Kiwi's legacy is defined by constant evolution. Following successful defences in Auckland and Barcelona, the team is now refining its existing boat with modifications to defend the Cup in Naples in 2027. By empowering a younger generation of sailors and leaving no stone unturned in development, the defenders are preparing to beat their challengers once again.

Building on the hard-earned lessons of a challenging AC37 campaign, France's La Roche-Posay Racing Team is entering the next America's Cup with enhanced experience and a pledge to "come back stronger". France's history with the Cup dates back to the 1970s, and their passion for the ultimate prize remains as intense as ever. During their previous campaign in Barcelona - where they competed under the Orient Express Racing banner - the team faced the massive challenge of arriving late and mastering an AC75 under the eyes of the world. Despite these hurdles, they secured a milestone victory in race one against Alinghi Red Bull Racing. Now, the team is applying those critical learnings to their current campaign. Retaining their core philosophy of backing young, hungry talents who are eager to prove themselves, they have also made a significant push to bring vital experience into critical departments - with an eye to achieving the impossible.

Entering their seventh America's Cup campaign, Italian powerhouse Luna Rossa is balancing the massive support of racing on home waters with the heavy expectation to finally take "the last step" and win. Revered with the same passion as Italy's national football squad, Luna Rossa carries a deep heritage and an entire nation's sailing identity. Now, as they prepare to challenge for the Cup on home waters in Naples in 2027, the squad faces a double-edged sword: the advantage of local knowledge and huge fan backing versus immense media pressure. The mandate is clear: they are not here to waste time or money; their sole objective is to win the America's Cup.

As the first landlocked country to bring the oldest international trophy to Europe, Alinghi Red Bull Racing is rebuilding from scratch with one singular, uncompromising objective: winning it all again. Alinghi completely disrupted the sport in 2003, famously turning Switzerland "from a skiing nation into a sailing nation" before securing a historic defence in 2007. Following a devastating defeat in 2010, the team entered a long hiatus. After a recent, high-stakes return in Barcelona marked by immense effort and critical boat breakages, the fire has been completely reignited. Now running a completely fresh program, the Swiss syndicate refuses to just fill a spot on the grid -they want to return to the top of the mountain.

For 175 years, the America's Cup was a men's sport. Now, for the first time in history, every AC75 MUST carry a woman on board. But there's one final frontier: the helm. The AC75 has no grinders, no cyclors, no physical barrier left to hide behind. So why hasn't a woman helmed one yet? We speak to Jo Aleh - the first woman ever to sail an AC75 - Hannah Mills, Odile van Aanholt, and Nathan Outteridge about what it will take to put a woman on the wheel in the world's most storied and historic yacht race. 0:00 Intro 1:07 Women on the AC75: The Last Frontier 2:43 A History of Exclusion 4:09 Jo Aleh: First Woman on an AC75 5:10 Odile van Aanholt: No Physical Excuse Left 5:48 Hannah Mills: Building the Pathway 7:17 Jo Aleh: The Door That Wasn't Open 10:12 Nathan Outteridge: The Pipeline 11:54 The New Rule - and Its Limits 14:02 When Will It Happen? 17:54 Closing Thoughts SUBSCRIBE to the official America's Cup channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/americascup Follow America’s Cup on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americascup Like America’s Cup on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup on X: https://x.com/americascup Stay up to date with the America’s Cup newsletter: https://www.americascup.com/en/newsletter The Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup will be defended in Naples in 2027 by five-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, @EmiratesTeamNZ . #AmericasCup #AC38 #Naples2027

Following a "massive shift" in sponsorship, Sir Ben Ainslie's British team is rebuilding with a fierce "siege mentality" for the next America's Cup. After breaking a 60-year drought to reach the final in Barcelona, the British challenge faces a critical new era. Splitting from INEOS and restructuring under new CEO Ian Walker, the team has been forced to reinvent itself. Driven by Ainslie's ruthless mindset, this adapted squad is embracing its underdog status with one singular focus: achieving the "almost impossible" feat of dethroning Emirates Team New Zealand.
