Alinghi Red Bull Racing's Historic Win
Alinghi Red Bull Racing has successfully kicked off their campaign in the America’s Cup with a sensational victory. Dominating the French challenge, they clinched their first point during the preliminary regattas of the 37th edition.
With Arnaud Psarofaghis and Maxime Bachelin at the helm, the AC75 boat flying the flag of the Société Nautique de Genève took an early lead, creating a gap of 12 seconds by the first buoy. Galloping at over 45 knots (nearly 90 km/h), the Swiss team showcased agility, countering each attack from their opponents effectively.
Incredible Achievement Under Pressure
- This victory marked Alinghi Red Bull Racing's first official triumph in the 37th America’s Cup.
- More than just the win, the recent days leading to this moment served as a huge source of pride.
- After encountering setbacks with a mast failure earlier in the week, the team worked tirelessly to ensure their readiness.
Their resolve is evident as they now advance to further stages of preliminary races, leading up to the prestigious Louis Vuitton Cup, set to begin August 29. As they prepare to face the formidable New Zealand challenger, anticipation builds around their journey.
