At the end of the Louis Vuitton Cup, Christian Karcher returned to Team New Zeland to take the America's Cup. By analysing the last races against Artemis, the sailor's viewpoint shows us the strengths and weaknesses of this competitor.
Out of the last 7 America's Cups, the kiwis have reached the final 6 times. A great achievement. But it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to win over the Oracle Americans. Indeed, Team New Zeland has strongly improved during its matches against Artemis (they won 5-2). Facing them, the Americans have set rules to allow them to defend the title and have been training hard by sailing with the Japanese.
Start of the response on Saturday 17 June 2017 at 19:12 (French time) for the first America's Cup regatta. The first winner of five races will be declared the winner of the 35 e America's Cup.
