The 34th America's Cup
Omschrijving
RESCHULED
In 2013 the 34th America’s Cup was held in San Francisco, 3.5 years after the last Cup. And this 34th edition of the Cup has again pushed the limits. We have seen foiling 72 feet catamarans, lead changes, could listen live to the crew’s communication and watch the race from the yachts. After some thrilling races the Oracle Team USA took the Cup home.
At 23 January top sailor and ex-team member of Oracle Team USA Simeon Tienpont will give a lecture about this unique event. The America’s Cup has again challenged designers, sailors, team work and materials: only the best of the best is capable of winning the Cup!
After winning the Cup Simeon is a popular speaker. He is willing to facilitate the lecture for free at one condition: a donation to the foundation “Sailability”. This foundation has been active in organizing sailing activities for physically and mentally disabled people since 2003. Please show your appreciation and support the foundation Sailability by donating to NL58INGB0000325478 att. KNVTS mentioning “Lecture Simeon Tienpont”.
