Sailing Sydney - America’s Cup Match Racing
For the ultimate thrill join the crew and participate in match racing on an actual America’s Cup yacht!
Racing onboard multi-million dollar America’s Cup Class yachts is the Formula One on water! The America’s Cup is all about superior design technology, crew perfection and a winning strategy. The crew members onboard each yacht must give their absolute best in the effort to outmanoeuvre the opposition and win the race.
Your three hour experience begins at King Street Wharf in Darling Harbour where you will meet the crew and go through a short race and safety briefing. The yachts then head out onto Sydney Harbour and after a period of practice, the action really starts, when we line up in the pre-start and compete head to head.
Be fully involved or sit back and enjoy the action
