On December 17, 2020 in Auckland (December 16 in the U.S.), the four AC75's will finally go racing: TE REHUTAI, LUNA ROSSA, BRITANNIA and PATRIOT. Race Day at America's Cup World Series Auckland will be 1,081 days after the New York Yacht Club challenged the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron for the Cup. The American challenge was issued seconds after entries opened. Race Day will be 460 days after DEFIANT, American Magic's first AC75, was launched in Rhode Island. Race Day will be 62 days after PATRIOT first touched the sea in Auckland. Race Day will be here in 7 days, and New York Yacht Club American Magic, the U.S. Challenger for the 36th America's Cup, will be ready.
Instead of antifouling, we polish our prop to keep it clean and efficient. The process? Scrape off barnacles Dissolve calcium buildup with acid Polish with progressively finer compounds for a smooth finish ✨ Finally, we grease the prop, add a fresh zinc anode, and apply a final coat of Brasso before launch! Note, that this depends on the condition of your propeller. If it’s really fouled or previously painted, you might need a more thorough process - like we did last year. Drop us a comment, and we’ll send you the full how-to list! 🪩 Have you tried this method or want to try it out? Then safe it for later 📨 or do you swear by antifouling? Drop your thoughts below! 💭
