Fortunately for the British Challenger it was only their Test Boat and it did not sink.

Statement by SIR BEN AINSLIE, Team Principal & CEO of INEOS BRITANNIA:

„It was a tough situation for the team once T6 fully inverted. Everyone came together well to resolve what could have been a much more serious issue in salvaging the yacht. Thankfully everyone is safe, and we can now focus on repairing the damage as part of a pre-scheduled upgrade window at the end of this week.“

Racing will commence between the 14th and 17th of September 2023.

Statement by GRANT DALTON, CEO of AMERICA'S CUP EVENT LIMITED:

„The Port of Vilanova i la Geltrú, is perfectly set up to host the first Preliminary Event of AC37 with everything in such close proximity to the race course.
Racing will be just metres from the port entrance and prime viewing places will be offered from the La Daurada alongside huge public areas for a great fan village. The magnificent facilities of Pendennis Vilanova and Vilanova Grand Marina will serve as the technical area which will host the team bases and their AC40’s and, of course, we will be proud to align with the Club Nàutic Vilanova as the local yacht club for the event.“

Statement by ALBERT CASTELLANOS, Secretary for Business and Competitiveness of the Department of Business and Employment of the Generalitat de Catalunya:

„The confirmation of Vilanova i la Geltrú as the venue for the first Preliminary Regatta of the 37th America's Cup-Barcelona 2024 is great news that confirms the commitment of the organisation to bring the sport of sailing to the whole territory, projecting our image to hundreds of millions of people around the world.“

Statement by OLGA ARNAU, Mayor of Vilanova:

expressed „pride and the great opportunity it represents to host the first regatta before the America's Cup 2024.
I am sure that our town will be a fantastic venue for the competition in the eyes of the world.“

Statement EDUARD TORRES, Barcelona Tourism:

„Barcelona exercises its capital status from the conviction of being a gateway and from the Consortium we work to promote and give maximum projection to the dynamism and vitality of an entire territory dedicated to the sea and sailing. Barcelona is the capital of the Mediterranean and must be shown in all its splendour.“

Statement DANIEL PUIG, Fundació Barcelona Capital Nàutica:

„We can say that the Preliminary Regatta in Vilanova is the first milestone of the America's Cup Arrival Projects Plan that we are working on together with all the administrations and the private sector so that Barcelona and Catalonia become world sailing capitals with the maximum positive impact for citizens.“

„It is an incredible opportunity to be part of the America’s Cup. It’s something that I have dreamt about for a long time, pretty much since I started my Olympic carer. I thought – well, I want to win the America’s Cup for Great Britain, and I want to win a gold medal. Now I have gone and got that gold medal. Next step is to win the Cup for Great Britain.
It is really exciting to have an opportunity within the team, given that I had a strong Olympics with Stu. Then to progress from that to doing some Moth sailing, and then to be a part of an America’s Cup team, which has been my ultimate goal for such a long time. I think it’s something you try to work alongside your Olympic career, so to finally be a part of it is almost a huge relief to have got here and been given this opportunity.“

Source: America's Cup Event Limited

Statement by GRANT DALTON, CEO of AMERICA'S CUP EVENT LIMITED:

„One of the attractions of Barcelona as the host venue of the 37th America’s Cup was their significant push into developing a circular blue economy which promotes sustainable economic and social development and we have wanted to add real value to this economy and not just participate within it.
When we began discussions with World Sailing on sanctioning the America’s Cup as a World Sailing Special Event it was clear that the two organisations were closely aligned in prioritising the investment as a positive contribution to projects in Barcelona’s Blue Economy.“

Statement by DAVID GRAHAM, CEO of WORLD SAILING:

„The collaboration between World Sailing and the 37th America’s Cup will directly benefit specific sustainability projects in Barcelona. World Sailing’s Agenda 2030 - published in 2018 - has put our sport at the forefront of the sector-wide drive for greater sustainability and our partnership with one of the sport’s greatest competitions will make a significant contribution to achieving targets that we have set for ourselves as an organisation and for sailing.“

Statement by GRANT DALTON, CEO of AMERICA'S CUP EVENT LIMITED:

„As the pinnacle of sailing, I know the 37th America’s Cup and this preliminary regatta can be utilised as an event for positive influence on a number of fronts.
When standing back and looking at the opportunity for the growth of our sport that exists in the region it is truly significant. 67% of the country’s population is under the age of 34 years old, women’s participation in sport or physical activity is up 149% in recent years. So, we have a unique chance to grow sailing and create new connections with the unprecedented sustainability projects within the Red Sea that can transform lives through sailing and the technologies associated with it.
This will be the last significant act of 2023.
It may not seem like much, but no team will want to be going into 2024- the year of the America’s Cup at the bottom of the leader board or having shown vulnerability in their sailing team less than a year out from the start of the America’s Cup. It will be pressure no one needs especially as the next time the team’s race will be just prior to the Challenger Selection Series in the final preliminary regatta in Barcelona raced in the AC75’s.“

Statement by SAMIA BAGDADY, CEO of the SAUDI SAILING FEDERATION:

„This is one of the fastest growing sports markets in the world and has a maritime heritage that is ready to be reignited for all Saudi women and men.
Sailing is in its infancy at the moment, but the potential is huge with 9 million people living on the Red Sea coast and fantastic sailing conditions all year round. The America’s Cup and the exciting foiling AC40’s racing with the world’s best sailors is the perfect catalyst to inspire our people toward sailing and widen access to the Red Sea which has always been an important part of Saudi Arabia’s history and heritage and is integral to Saudi’s sustainable future. We want to bring the joy and excitement of sailing to Saudi’s young and old, and one day see an Olympic, Ocean Race or America’s Cup champion representing our country.“

Statement by DAVID GRAHAM, CEO of WORLD SAILING:

„World Sailing's objective is to grow our great sport globally, and certainly Saudi Arabia is a region that is ready and willing to embrace sailing and the marine sector, and develop the sport through their sailing federation.
They have a number of sailing events on the horizon, the pinnacle of which will be the staging of the 37th America's Cup Second Preliminary Regatta from 30th November, which we support and look forward to the exciting prospect of the AC40s being raced in Jeddah.“

Statement by HASSAN KABBANI, CHAIRMAN of the SAUDI SAILING FEDERATION:

„We welcome the America's Cup organisation and sailors from around the world to Saudi Arabia and to Jeddah. It is an honour to be selected to host an America's Cup Preliminary Regatta and to be able to showcase to the sailing community the wonderful conditions we have. I can assure everyone of a warm welcome.“The America's Cup Preliminary Regatta will help us to accelerate the growth of sailing in Saudi Arabia. We will use it to kick-start a number of new initiatives including a Discover Sailing programme to encourage people on to the water, and a Performance Pathway for talented sailors to train to compete at the top level.“
