EP 46: Talking America's Cup with Tucker Thompson

from Around the Buoy

From the first race around the Isle of Wight in 1851, the America's Cup has been about pushing the envelope of sailing but few people could have predicted that the sport would evolve to where we are today: a 75 foot 50+ knot foiling monohull.  With all these new advancements, it is helpful to have someone there who can educate you on the history of the oldest trophy in international sport but also can go into the tactics of a light air tacking duel.  Tucker Thompson has being doing that ever since he was a member of the ground breaking America True campaign in the 2000 Cup and recently he has been on a nationwide and virtual tour talking to sailing fans about an America's Cup unlike anyone has seen before.  Take a listen!
