In anticipation of a new America's Cup competition to come (see AC35 protocol announced on June 3), here is a nine-minute highlight reel of the 34th America's Cup showing one of the greatest comebacks in the world of sport. Click on the link image below to watch the AC34 video highlights from San Francisco back in September 2013.

 


 

The 34th America's Cup was a huge rebirth for the Cup with extraordinary TV coverage that effortlessly combined technical graphical overlays, such as course, speed, tidal flow, wind patterns and more with live footage and sound from multiple angles. We saw footage from on board the boats, from the air and from speeding camera boats on the water, giving a fabulous multi-faceted picture of events as they unfolded..

The AC72 yacht itself was like something from another dimension. Although foiling dinghies and a few one-off designs had been around for a decade or more, nothing on the scale of these boats had ever been seen. Combined with a nail-biting competitive series in the amazing San Francisco Bay – no-one will ever forget the AC34.
