Mike Drummond has been involved in the design side of four winning America's
Cup campaigns, starting with then Team New Zealand in 1987-2003, before joining
Alinghi in 2007 and latterly was the Design Director for Oracle Racing in the
2010 America's Cup, and heavily involved in the development of the wingsailed

That America's Cup regatta was his second

the terms set out in the 19th century Deed of Gift which governs the America's
Cup), Drummond was also involved in the design of the Big Boat for Sir Michael
