About the shot :
The America's Cup is a highly prestigious event, being the oldest continuous competition in international sport. The America's Cup in Barcelona in 2024 attracted 2.56 million attendees captivated by the raw speed of the AC75 boats and the tight competition. Today's AC75’s have a potential speed of over 50 knots. Boats have managed 40 knots of boat speed upwind in 7-10 knots of wind. Typically, racing speeds are over 30 knots. Thrilling!
