Start of the 1851 Cup on Tuesday 3rd August, the sailing teams from both TEAMORIGIN and America’s Cup defender, BMW ORACLE Racing, are gathering in Cowes, Isle of Wight.

And I am delighted to announce that dotCOM will be streaming all the races LIVE from approximately 2.30pm today (local time). Match racing Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday with the around the Isle of Wight race taking place on Thursday.

There have been modifications to both the American and British teams since they last raced each other at the Louis Vuitton Trophy in La Maddalena in May. Each has recruited from Ernesto Bertarelli’s America’s Cup team, Alinghi the defenders of the 32nd and 33rd America’s Cup. BMW Oracle Racing has gained New Zealander Murray Jones talented sailor afloat and innovative design engineer ashore and Dutch bowman Piet van Niuwenhuyzen from the team they beat in the 33rd America’s Cup.

Following the appointment of former Alinghi Managing Director Grant Simmer as CEO, Sir Keith Mills’ British team has both of Alinghi’s veteran sail trimmers, Warwick Fleury and Simon Daubney. In addition, navigator Juan Vila, grinder Will McCarthy and pitman Rodney Ardern will be sailing throughout the four days of racing this week in Cowes.

It should be a fascinating encounter. The commentary will be in English and available through our dotCOM Sail TV player. Don’t miss it!
