Does the America's Cup partnership actually break its own rules? Ep 37

SailGP delivered another dramatic weekend in Valencia — but not in the way many expected. Spain looked untouchable on Saturday, only to miss the final completely on Sunday, while the USA produced another huge result to move right back into the championship fight. We break down Taylor Canfield’s win, Australia’s costly tactical decision in the final, why Artemis may now be vulnerable, and what it all means heading towards Geneva. Then we head offshore for the Ocean Race Atlantic, where the new generation of IMOCA boats are being pushed brutally hard across the Atlantic. Team Malizia have shown serious raw pace, but reliability issues have opened the door for the older, proven boats — with crews facing what Freddie describes as “offshore survival conditions.” And finally, the America’s Cup faces another major political and legal question after the New York Yacht Club asked the New York Attorney General to examine whether the new America’s Cup Partnership complies with the Deed of Gift. Is this simply healthy scrutiny, or the start of a much bigger fight over the future of the Cup? Plus, a look ahead to the IQFOiL World Championships and the ILCA 6 Worlds.
