From 4 July 2013
The America’s Cup ‘Summer of Racing’ hosted in the fabulous city of San Francisco includes three months of competition, culminating with the best two teams in the world duelling for the oldest trophy in international sport. Racing will take place in the new AC72 wing-sail catamarans, extreme machines capable of 45 knots or 85km/h. With the race course just yards from the shoreline, the action in this America’s Cup can be best appreciated live and up-close, making San Fran the place to be this (NZ) winter.
