Ben Ainslie’s Ineos Britannia crew has advanced to the semi-finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup as they aim to make history by becoming the first British team to win the America’s Cup.
The team secured their place in the semi-finals with impressive victories over both the Swiss team, Alinghi Red Bull Racing, and the Italian team, Luna Rossa, during the competition held in Barcelona. This progression brings them one step closer to challenging the defending champions, Team New Zealand, for the prestigious title.
“It’s a tremendous achievement for the entire team to have clinched two wins,” remarked Ainslie, who is a four-time Olympic sailing champion.
