American Magic’s defining moment

07/09/2021

American Magic were the first to launch a full-size test boat, and the first to sail and foil on an AC75.

They were the first Challenger to set up in New Zealand and looked on track for a great regatta. However, it’s the yacht’s capsize and rebuild that has become the defining story of the 36th America’s Cup.
