LOUIS VUITTON 37th AMERICA'S CUP RAMPS UP INTO GEAR IN APRIL

For many it's the most exciting time of any America's Cup cycle. It's the moment when boats are revealed, design break-throughs and ideas come to fruition and the sailors have the awesome task of raising their game to unbelievable new heights. April saw the start of the business-end of the regatta and all around the world, fans are getting excited.

Rightly so, what we saw unveiled in April are the pinnacle foiling AC75s of their generation with incredible design differences, the result of tens of thousands of man-hours and super-computer number crunching. All the boats are different with radical solutions to similar problems, let's take a look at what all the teams have been up to in April:

EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND

The first to launch, the first to tow-test and the first to sail, Emirates Team New Zealand have been a model of efficiency in April, but they had to be. Based down in Auckland, the team knew that they had to be quick off the blocks to get the maximum amount of training time concluded before the boat is shipped up to Barcelona and with the late antipodean summer capable of producing a variety of conditions, it's no surprise to see them pulling very long hours in order to work the boat up to race-ready.

INEOS BRITANNIA

An early-morning delivery on April 6^th in Barcelona from an airfield hanger in Turweston, Northamptonshire where the boat was fitted-out, saw INEOS Britannia's challenge for the Louis Vuitton 37^th America's Cup take a huge step forward. After a short time in the team's shed on the Port Vell, the new AC75 was revealed to the world and immediately screamed innovation with a radical hull form that quite rightly has British fans believing has a real chance of going deep in this event. The first tow-test at the end of April showed a really stable, powerful platform with a perfectly formed skeg and bustle that end-plates efficiently. The first sail is scheduled for the beginning of May and all eyes will be on the Challenger of Record who might just have a boat that is capable of reversing 173 years of history. Great times for the British team.

ALINGHI RED BULL RACING

The Swiss opted for a glitzy evening reveal of their new, and incredibly radical boat on the 5^th April, the first team to unveil a new generation AC75 amidst floodlights, smoke, acrobats, and the haunting sound of the enormous Swiss bell that the team have onsite at their Port Vell base. What we saw was some innovative aero thinking with pods ending abruptly into a cutaway aft transom. The big bustle, chine detailing on the bow and 'bumps' on the foredeck were immediately seen and at the launch on the 16^th April, the long-span foils were also revealed into the daylight.

NYYC AMERICAN MAGIC

April saw the conclusion of a very dynamic block of two-boat AC40 training for the American team who have a clear 'A' and 'B' team who pushed each other harder and harder with some desperately close-quarter racing on display. Tom Slingsby and Paul Goodison are clicking well on the helms and with Andrew Campbell and Michael Menninger emerging as the lead Flight Controllers/Trimmers, this is a team that is more than race-ready.

LUNA ROSSA PRADA PIRELLI

A masterpiece of design and aesthetics was revealed by Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli on the 13^th April with Miuccia Prada cracking the bottle of champagne on the bow of the boat that Italian fans are hoping is enough to avenge the defeat of the AC36 Match and win the 37^th Louis Vuitton America's Cup. The silver-hull shimmered at the Molo Ichnusa team base in Cagliari, revealing a smooth underbody with considerate bustle but once the boat was in the water, the aero deck, finished in naked carbon hinted at the design direction that the Italians have taken.

ORIENT EXPRESS RACING TEAM

True to the words of Team Principle Bruno Dubois, the French have been putting huge hours on the water throughout April in their AC40, getting up to speed and really making positive gains. The arrival of their new AC75 on the 6^th April was a serious milestone for the team who are now deep into the technical fit-out with an expected reveal sometime in early May.
