Artemis Racing, the Swedish challenger for the 34th America’s Cup, is working quietly to build a team that can challenge and perform at a high level for the 35th America’s Cup.
While the team waits to learn the rules for the 35th America’s Cup, it is keeping busy on the water, racing in other classes.

Speaking from Puerto Calero, Lanzerote, where Artemis Racing is competing in the RC44 World Championships, Team Manager Iain Percy says they will continue competing and developing as the next Cup takes shape.

We’re keen to do the next one,” Percy confirmed. “Like everyone, we’re waiting, but that’s not a complaint. We’ve had good contact and consultation with Russell Coutts and the ORACLE guys. We’re very supportive of what we saw at the end of the last event. I think we all agree the America’s Cup Final took sailing to another level.”

Percy says Artemis Racing owner Torbjörn Törnqvist is a big fan and is keen to back the team for another challenge.
