New section preview: Positions on an America's Cup yacht

The America's Cup frantic action has been put on hold for the next ten months but this doesn't at all mean that we are taking a rest. On the contrary, we are introducing a brand new section where each position on an America's Cup Class yacht is explained in detail with the help of photos and videos.

In addition to the usual text, one will also be able to see various pictures of each position during actual sailing as well as a video of each sailor in action in various situations, downwind, upwind or the pre-start procedure. Not only will you read about their duties but see them carrying them out.

We start with the Navigator and the Bowman and will continue with the rest of positions aboard the yacht. Click on the following two links to get a preview: America's Cup Navigator, America's Cup Bowman

When the whole section is complete it will allow you to learn exactly what each sailor does in a very user-friendly and innovative way. Note that you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them and the video will start by pressing on play.
