Corporate entertaining at its best

2 America's Cup yachts battle close during a San Diego corporate event

2 America’s Cup yachts battle close during a San Diego corporate event

On Saturday we entertained 80+ members of an international bank + their VIP invited guests. Using all 3 of our magnificent yachts we provided all 80+ guests with a hands-on authentic America’s Cup ‘match race’. A ‘match race’ is a one-on-one, boat-to-boat race with just 2 vessels shadowing each other up and down a race course….as is the true theme of the America’s Cup racing. While the 2 x 80 Ft race yachts conducted their first event, those waiting and anticipating their turn were on the much larger ‘America’, in this case acting as the mother-ship. After each race the 80 Ft yachts tied beside the 139 Ft ‘America’ where guests swapped teams. On this occasion we conducted 2 ‘heats’, and then the two winning teams had a 3rd race for the ultimate winner.
