Andoo Team Australia Makes Exciting Debut in UniCredit Youth America’s Cup
Andoo Team Australia made their debut in the UniCredit Youth America’s Cup with a challenging first race. Despite a disappointing 5th place finish on day one, skipper Cole Tapper praised the supporters in Barcelona for their enthusiastic cheers as the team set sail. The race was affected by fluky weather conditions, with Andoo Team Australia being the only team to start penalty-free. The Spanish Sail Team BCN claimed the victory, while Canada made an impressive comeback to secure second place. Tapper expressed a mix of relief and disappointment after the race, but remains confident in his team’s abilities for the upcoming races. Racing will continue tomorrow, with the current overall standings available on the America’s Cup website. Viewers in Australia can catch the action on Fox Sports and Kayo Freebies.
