Bermuda LV America’s Cup 35 Qualifiers Schedule: 7 Days to Go
Photo; ACEA / Ricardo Pinto from Final practice races Day 3. Click pic left to enlarge with full schedule. – Seven days to go for the first match of the Louis Vuitton Series , event to decided the final challenger for the Finals against Oracle.
On Friday May 26th Oracle will face Groupama Team France.
Is key to remark that the defender will be participating in these LV series, fact which will bring them even more advantage to fine tuning their defense, nothing to lose for them on the LV series, just huge gains.
Many are asking where to to watch, check americascup.com/en/where-to-watch.html and select your country. The app is rather useless and not working in zones where rights are taken (but sometimes not used by TV broadcasters).
From what we’ve seen, thanks only to MyislandhomeBDA efforts, its going to be a blast, boats looks super responsive and fast, AC72s look old panzer tanks compared to the AC50s. Hope for Ainslie to get some speed going, if not I go for Artemis & New Zealand for the LV finals, but Team Japan joint development with Oracle and great sailors onboard , like Barker & Draper (Waterhouse also part of the team) could surprise.
