PlanetSail talks directly to the key members of French and Swiss America's Cup challengers teams directly as they reveal their lineups for a 38th America's Cup cycle which sees all the teams operating on desperately tight timescales.
There had been a stony silence from the Swiss America's Cup team for months, nothing on their website, nothing on their social media channels and barely any rumours, at least not ones we could broadcast.
But now going under the name of Tudor Team Alinghi, the cat's fully out of the bag and the Swiss are back in the Cup with a slimmed down but strong team that suggests a very different approach this time around.
Meanwhile, the French La Roche-Posay Racing Team have opened their doors to show off their Cup team too. For many this was a strong team in the making at the last Cup in Barcelona and their impressive performances in SailGP has frequently confirmed that this is a team that's thinking smart and learning fast.
I check-in with Tudor Team Alinghi’s director for technical and sailing, New Zealand America’s Cup veteran Dave Endean – the man in charge of making sure that in AC38 the Swiss syndicate improves on its somewhat lacklustre performance in the last Cup in Barcelona.
