The 30th anniversary Louis Vuitton Cup Final begins Saturday 17 August at 1:10pm PT with Emirates Team New Zealand taking on Italy's Luna Rossa Challenge.
AC UNCUT's Genny Tulloch catches up with Red Bull Youth America's Cup team Objective Australia to hear what it is like from Jason Waterhouse to get back on the AC45 since the Selection Series in February.
Younger sailors to race on America's Cup course - SFGate: "Red Bull is picking up most of the $160,000, and a couple of sponsors have helped defray expenses, he said. Oracle has provided the boat, training facilities and other assistance but no financial support. The team is hoping for donations through its website (americanyouthsailingforce.com). The sailors have received sailing tips from the Oracle pros, and they work out with Oracle's trainers. Moreover, getting to perform on the America's Cup stage is the chance of a lifetime for the youngsters."
