Prestigious Yachting Event Going on Now

America's 32nd Cup, one of the most prestigious yachting events in the world began on April 3 with the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13. In the four days that followed, this was the only opportunity this year to see all 12 teams of the 32nd America’s Cup racing together. Among the most spectacular images of the 32nd America’s Cup is the sight of the full fleet of America’s Cup Class yachts, amounting to nearly 300-tonnes of carbon fibre, charging across the starting line, all battling for the same piece of water.

Then April 16 kicked off the Louis Vuitton Cup, which runs until June 12. So far Round Robin 1 & 2 are complete, eleven teams competed and only four moved on the the Semifinals that started on Monday, May 14. We're now in the ten days of the Semifinals, when the pressure intensifies as four teams fight to survive and race another day. Two teams will move on the Finals on June 1st.

The winner of the Final takes home the Louis Vuitton Cup, and will have earned the right to face Alinghi, the Defender, in the 32nd America’s Cup Match on June 23rd.
