America's Cup
If we don’t dare, we don’t do.
The America’s Cup is the most prestigious sailing event in the world. It started in Britain, 45 years before the modern Olympic Games, with a race around the Isle of Wight. It has never been won by a British team since.
Mercedes-AMG F1 Applied Science has come together with Sir Ben Ainslie’s British America’s Cup Team, forming INEOS Britannia, backed by INEOS’s founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Here, the worlds of high-performance marine and automotive engineering meet with a very clear goal. Win the America’s Cup for Britain.
The current regulations have mandated the most technologically advanced vessels the competition has ever produced. Our racing sailboat, the AC75, has openly embraced the foiling era. It allows flaps on the main T-foils. This is the same control system that would be used on an aircraft.

Our Formula One mindset means that we bring a legacy of innovative design, ironclad determination, and a high-performing culture to the table.
As proven winners, it’s in our DNA.
We are all in to win the America’s Cup.
