SI #856 — Is the sun rising, or setting, on the America's Cup? Latest from the "peace summit" in AKL

SAILING ILLUSTRATED #856 (Tue 12 Aug 2025): On Friday's SI #855, we broke the news about this week's "peace summit" in Auckland between the AC38 Defender and Challenger of Record — not exactly on par with the "peace summit" in Alaska later this week, but significant at least for yacht racing. We'll have the latest, and more on the billionaire backers of Sir Ben Ainslie's AC38 team. Also analysis of the serious collision at Sunday's start of TOR Europe, and yet another Bravo Zulu to Cole Tapper (AUS) & his team for their third major match racing win in as many weeks. SI is our beloved sport's only regular live video podcast — yacht racing news, views and notables. It airs on Facebook (fb.com/sailingillustratedblog) and the Sailing Illustrated TV YouTube channel every Tuesday and Friday at 1300 Pacific / 2000 UTC, or watch a replay on-demand later.
