BABCNE members, business leaders and professionals joined British Government representatives including His Majesty’s Deputy Consul General Nicola Moss aboard one of three restored 1960s America’s Cup 10m yachts to race for the 2024 BABCNE America’s Cup, and gathered afterwards for an informal networking event with refreshments.
 
These boats are the very same ones that competed (and won) the America’s Cup for the USA in the 1960s and 1970s, and sailing them and getting a hands on afternoon at the helm was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
 
The online event brochure is available here and, with only 10 guests per boat (plus a professional crew to help guide us) it was another sold out event this year.  Tickets cost $1,250 for a corporate pack of three tickets (including branding and links on web, social media posts) and individual tickets are available at $350 each.
 
Out thanks to this year’s headline sponsor was Marsh McLennan Agency.
