Emirates Team New Zealand helmsman Nathan Outteridge and Orient Express Racing Team CEO Bruno Dubois participate in this episode of Loft 57.
Nathan provides insights from his experience sailing the AC75 – covering everything from the technical innovations inherent in these foiling machines to the challenges faced in navigating this craft around the racetrack. Bruno, who boasts several high-profile victories, including an Ocean Race with Dongfeng, addresses the hurdles of launching a competitive America’s Cup campaign within a constrained budget and timeframe.
Additionally, in a special segment, Cup veteran and long-time North Sails figure Tom Whidden engages in a discussion with Ken Read about how this event, the vessels, and the competitors have progressed over the past fifty years.
