From Capsize to Race Win: GB2’s Comeback

Before Cobham-Ultra GB2 takes to the Bay of Naples for the second Prelim Regatta, the team looks back at a breakthrough performance in Sardinia. Racing as Athena Pathway, Hannah Mills, Ellie Aldridge, Sam Webb and Matt Beck faced punishing conditions, a dramatic capsize and a technical setback. Twenty-four hours later, they responded in the best possible way: by taking their first race win. Now the lessons, momentum and hunger from Sardinia travel with GB2 to the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta Naples, taking place from 24–27 September 2026.
