The mission of the last 12 years remains the same, to win sports oldest international trophy for the nation.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nOur America&#8217;s Cup team, GB1, alongside our Women&#8217;s and Youth America&#8217;s Cup squads are currently training together in Cagliari in preparation for the first Preliminary America&#8217;s Cup regatta in May. The 150 strong team based out of Portsmouth are focussed on the task at hand, working with some of the best British technology companies and developing skills and careers for generations to come.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nWe will always appreciate the sponsorship and support of Ineos over the last two campaigns, culminating in the team becoming the most successful British Challenger in 60 years in Barcelona 2024.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nIt should come as no surprise to Ineos that assets which are owned by, and have always been in the possession of Athena Racing are being used for AC38.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sea-sure.co.uk\/products\/rig-gauge-pro\" class=\"banner\" onclick=\"return redirect(&#039;\/Library\/LogAction.aspx?website=2&amp;region=4&amp;type=UPM&amp;theid=15859&#039;);\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sea-Sure-Rig-Gauge-Pro-MPU-202511051437.png\" alt=\"Sea Sure Rig Gauge Pro\" \/><br \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clipperroundtheworld.com\/campaign\/clipper-race?utm_source=sail_world&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=race_around_the_world \" class=\"banner\" onclick=\"return redirect(&#039;\/Library\/LogAction.aspx?website=2&amp;region=4&amp;type=UPM&amp;theid=15868&#039;);\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Race-around-the-world--600x500-202511141512.jpg\" alt=\"MPU 25 26\" \/><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Athena Racing statement on the British America&#8217;s Cup team, GB1 by Athena Racing Ltd. 21 Mar 10:32 PDT&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342348,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5532,18247,42,13207,43,5920,254,3512,766,5909,18248,18245,3008,40,38,41,39,16506,18246],"class_list":["post-342347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-boat","tag-boating","tag-headlines","tag-lake","tag-news","tag-photographs","tag-photos","tag-racing","tag-reports","tag-results","tag-sail","tag-sailing","tag-sea","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-yacht","tag-yachting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
