What will actually decide winners and losers in America's Cup design? A technical deep dive with a designer who's free to say what the teams can't. Juan Kouyoumdjian is one of the world's top authorities on yacht design. He's spent 30 years designing winning round-the-world boats and working on America's Cup projects. Right now he isn't attached to a Cup team, so for once there's nothing stopping him talking. Niall Myant-Best asks him: • Which of the reused AC75 hulls has a head start, and which team faces an uphill battle? • Why the hull isn't a hull any more, but a fuselage built to make the sails work harder? • Where the real gains sit in foil deformation, and the new wording in the rule that more than one team will be trying to exploit? • How far you can push automated sail trim before the human in the loop becomes the limit? • The piece of technology he thinks would be decisive in Naples, that nobody appears to have built yet.

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.
