The Red Bull Youth America’s Cup Selection Series will
feature 11 national teams battling in two qualifying sessions in San Francisco
from 9-24 February.
A British team, the GBR Youth Challenge, has
been added to the roster to take the place of the previously invited French
Youth Team, who now qualify directly for September’s event after gaining support
from the French America’s Cup World Series entry, Energy Team.
'The
America’s Cup is the greatest thing you can do in sailing,' said Adam Lees, of
the British team. 'The Red Bull Youth America’s Cup is about getting more people
involved in the competition and making it more accessible to young sailors so
the next generation is involved early on.'
The Red Bull Youth America’s
Cup, scheduled September 1-4, 2013, begins with the Selection Series in San
Francisco in February. With the goal of ensuring the best of the best are on the
starting line of the main event, the Selection Series will narrow the field
through two rigorous training workshop and regatta sessions from February 9-15
and February 18-24, 2013.
