AMERICA’S CUP WORLD SERIES COMES TO GREAT BRITAIN For 164 years, the America’s Cup has been one of sport’s most revered trophies with challenges characterised famously by some of the most thrilling dramas - and bitter rivalries - in sporting history. This incredible event started in the UK in 1851 and Great Britain has yet to win it - the challenge is on! The America’s Cup World Series is a collection of regattas leading up to the 35th America’s Cup featuring the best sailors in the world battling it out on sleek AC45 catamarans that ‘fly’ on foils at astonishing speeds of up to 50 knots. Every race will count in the ACWS series with vital points being secured ahead of the America’s Cup Qualifiers in Bermuda come 2017. For the first time ever, this amazing spectacle is coming to Portsmouth where in July 2015 and July 2016, the world’s sailing superstars will lead their teams out for a titanic battle on the Solent. Never before in the UK has such fast and furious sailing action been so accessible to spectators with miles of close quarter vantage points available along Portsmouth’s historic waterfront. Watch the drama unfold as the breeze builds and the America’s Cup show comes to town.
