Athena Racing has just announced a major new investment from Oakley Capital, with the private equity firm taking a majority ownership stake in the British America’s Cup team. This transformational backing gives Athena long-term financial stability to compete not just in 2027, but across future Cup cycles — and will help the team grow commercially and on the water as the sport enters a new era of unified governance.

Sir Ben Ainslie will stay deeply involved with the team’s strategy, supported by CEO Ian Walker and Head of Design Nick Holroyd, as Athena pushes forward with training and development for the next Cup in Naples. Athena Racing
Huge moment for British sailing and the future of the America’s Cup! 🇬🇧⛵️
