Statement by STEPHAN KANDLER, CEO Orient Express Racing Team:

„Sailing our AC40 is a major milestone for Orient Express Racing Team. It is very exciting and I’m extremely proud of the team – everyone has really pulled together to get the boat on the water and in the hands of the sailors as quickly as possible. We have come a long way in the eight months since welcoming our title sponsor Accor Group and its brands Orient Express and All.com onboard which allowed us to challenge for the 37th America’s Cup. We’ve been training with our simulator since the beginning of June, we’ve selected our challenger squads for the America’s Cup, the Puig Women’s America’s Cup and the Youth America’s Cup and we are flat-out building our AC75. This unique platform and team of experts is also enabling us to develop innovative technologies and R&D projects with a view to the ecological transition of mobility. While we know we have a lot of work to do, we have a positive outlook and the right people in the right positions within our tightknit team.“

Statement by THIERRY DOUILLARD, Team Coach Orient Express Racing Team:

„The conditions were very light today, but we had just enough to get on the foils twice, and we managed to do some sailing and tick off what we wanted to achieve so it has been a very positive first day. Of course, we have a huge amount to learn, but it was a good first step. We’re looking forward to more typical conditions as the week evolves, so we are green light go!“

Statement by BOUTROS BOUTROS, Divisional Vice President, Corporate Communications, Marketing & Brand Emirates Airline:

„Since 2004, we have been on a memorable voyage with Emirates Team New Zealand, and we are delighted to announce our continued support as they defend their reigning championship at the 37th America’s Cup.
Emirates Team New Zealand shares DNA with the airline in its ambitious pursuit of innovation and self-improvement and it’s a relationship that’s endured challenges and delivered results, so extending it was an easy decision for us. We also hope that as we move closer to the Americas Cup, the incredible talent, ground-breaking sailing technology, and historic rivalries among the different teams will broaden the sport’s appeal to more audiences worldwide.“

Statement by GRANT DALTON, Chief Executive Officer Emirates Team New Zealand:

„We are delighted to have Emirates not only continue to support Emirates Team New Zealand as naming sponsor. Emirates has always been a staunch sponsor of Team New Zealand through our highs and lows since 2004. We greatly value Emirates’ commitment to stand by the team in solidarity going into our 2024 defence in Barcelona. We’re ready to take on the massive task ahead of us next year, with a laser focus to compete at our best.“

Statement by MASSIMILIANO SIRENA, Team Director & Skipper Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team:

„With the Vilanova regattas the engines are warming up and we can't wait to get started. For us and for all the teams it will be an important test and a very useful opportunity for comparison. After two years, we will finally taste the competition and the adrenaline that only a regatta can give you. Even though we have trained less than our opponents on the AC40s, I am very satisfied with the work done by the guys in Barcelona over the last few months: we have achieved a very good level of team spirit and confidence in the manoeuvres. We are a professional team, we are here to win and we will give our best in every race. I am sure we will witness a very close and exciting event.“

Statement by SIR BEN AINSLIE, Team Principal, CEO, Skipper & Helmsman INEOS Britannia:

„It will be great to get back to racing after the long wait from AC36. It’s important that the America’s Cup keeps growing and its therefore brilliant to have four returning teams and two new ones with Swiss and French  challengers on the starting line. The Prelims are a great way to engage fans ahead of next year, and people are excited about the AC40, a completely new concept and class of boat. We’ve got the opportunity to showcase what they can do on short courses with fleet racing and match racing, and I’m sure we’re going to see some brilliant competition.
We’re looking forward to seeing where we stand in relation to the other teams, but everyone is on different trajectories with their preparation, and for many people the real priority is still the development of the AC75 race boat that will race in next year’s Challenger Selection Series and AC Match. But this is still a not to be missed opportunity to see all the Cup teams on the water at the same time, at a great venue. The team can’t wait to get into it.“

POST REGATTA REACTIONS



Statement by GRANT DALTON, CEO America's Cup Event Limited:

„I think Catalonia and Vilanova has been amazing. I was in the Race Village a few times and felt the atmosphere, the weather has done everything it can to disrupt us, but I think that what it says to me is that the America’s Cup is going to be a big event and I picked that up from the Volunteers and the people. I reflect on how well the event has been run, Leslie (Ryan) and the team have done a really good job and been well supported and that’s a good team for the future. There will be a pretty serious amount of de-briefing after this to tidy up around the edges because the America’s Cup is for keeps but the people of Vilanova and Catalonia, they’ve just been amazing and that’s the bit that makes it.“

Statement by TOM SLINGSBY, Helmsman of the winning Team New York Yacht Club/American Magic:

„That was amazing, we put it together and yeah we got the result. We sailed well, a couple of little mistakes but when we made those mistakes it wasn’t in too critical a time so we were able to get three good results and then lead into that final race and with the wind, it was nice knowing that you were leading going into that one. After being in fifth place last night, going into today and getting a 2-1-1 and taking the win, that’s amazing. The champagne was very nice.”

Statement by BLAIR TUKE, Trimmer America's Cup Defender Emirates Team New Zealand:

„It would have been nice to have had a shot at them in that final race and obviously we would have backed ourselves, but they’ve been sailing incredibly well, fought back nicely and for us just a couple of unforced errors were the difference between winning and not so that’s something we will look at as a group. All in all, I think we’ve got to be very proud with how we sailed, we set the bar in that light wind which was really pleasing.”

Statement by KEVIN PEPONNET, Helmsman Orient Express Racing Team:

„We felt good. It was close calls with the others, it’s close racing, we feel much more confident on the boat day after day so that gives us a lot of confidence for the next event in Jeddah in a month and a half. It’s a really good start for us and an incredible start for the team to be on the podium after just 15 days of sailing…I think, because we started late, everyone is surprised about the performance except us, the sailors, we saw in the line-ups that we are not that far from the front of the fleet, in tactics it’s just a boat like any other boat and you have to find the right trajectory with good pace. It’s a foiling boat but it’s still a boat.”

Statement by JAMES SPITHILL, Helmsman Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team:

„It was disappointing not to make the final but hats off to the Americans and the Kiwis. The Americans had a great day today, I thought they got off the line pretty well and they were able to sail clean races whereas we were stuck in the pack a bit today. I thought we sailed well in the first two to get to where we got, but in the last one after the battery change, we lost the comms system between me and Cecco (Bruni) so that was a lot more challenging than we expected it to be and what really cost us was a bad manoeuvre. It was challenging but we were in there. We had some real good races and battles, but it was a shame to finish on that note. It is what is and it’s just a shame that we didn’t get to see a real good battle in the final with the wind shutting off.”

Statement by ARNAUD PSAROFAGHIS, Helmsman Alinghi Red Bull Racing:

„For sure the mentality in the team is really positive. It’s a shame to end the regatta like that but I think yesterday we did work on the review thinking we could do better and it was great because the first two races we had a full-on battle with Luna Rossa in both of them, they managed to beat us in the first one, but we managed to beat them in the second one so that was great racing and it was full-on. All the teams are sailing really well and the difference between the teams are really narrow but the positive to take out was the performance of the boat, the performance of the team and so for the next regatta we go there with even more strength in us because we go there to win the regatta, for sure.”

Statement by BEN AINSLIE, Helmsman INEOS Britannia:

„When I look at the overall programme, clearly we’ve prioritised the testing side of things too much. We thought we could get away with not putting too much time in the AC40 and still be there or thereabouts. But what this highlight’s is that, just like in any other boat, you’ve got to be out there getting the hours in…We didn’t sail well, we didn’t put enough time in the boat and there were some other underlying issues in terms of our preparation time in the boat so you put those three together, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised with the result. But any professional sporting team it’s not okay to finish last so we are going to have a good debrief with Jeddah in a few months, what are we going to do to get ourselves more competitive for Jeddah but of course not completely take our focus off the test boat and making sure we have the fastest AC75 for next summer – that’s the balance that we’ve got to find and clearly we’ve set ourselves up to fail here which is tough.”
