It Takes A Village
A circuit that travels the globe, the movement of the AC World Series is made possible by the 125 containers that store every bit and bob. From desks and chairs to sail repair equipment to workshops to the AC45s themselves, the containers also do double duty as the event and team bases for the duration of the competition.

“The boats are so physically taxing on the guys, it is literally a flogging. You can’t but help but feel sorry for the other guys. At the end of the race their tongues are hanging out and they’re completely spent”

Darren Bundock, skipper, ORACLE TEAM USA Bundock,...
“I wouldn’t say it’s pressure. Russell is a true legend in the America’s Cup and a great addition to our boat tactically. Russell has been thrown in at the deep end. He’s up front, pulling ropes and seeing how physical he’s made these boats! We think it’s great. How often do you get to boss the boss around?!?”
