Gothenburg, Sweden / Lausanne, Switzerland — 19th of May

Sail Racing announces a new partnership with Tudor Team Alinghi, the Swiss Challenger competing in the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, set to take place in Naples during the spring and summer of 2027. The partnership brings together two performance-driven organizations with a shared commitment to innovation, technical excellence, and pushing the boundaries of high-performance sailing.

Sail Racing will serve as OPicial Clothing Supplier, equipping Tudor Team Alinghi with advanced technical apparel engineered for the extreme demands of racing aboard the AC40 and AC75 yachts, as well as a full range of onshore wear.

Alinghi has played an active role in shaping this initiative, designed to strengthen the future, sustainability, and global reach of sailing’s most historic trophy.

Alinghi is one of the most iconic teams in modern sailing history, having previously won the America’s Cup in 2003 and 2007. Representing the Société Nautique de Genève, the Team returns to the competition following the 2024 edition in Barcelona and will now proudly compete under the name Tudor Team Alinghi.

As we prepare for the challenges ahead in 2027, having the right equipment is critical, and we look forward to working closely together to optimize performance both on and oP the water.”
