Andoo Team Australia Makes a Stylish Exit from the 2024 UniCredit Youth America’s Cup
Andoo Team Australia concluded their impressive performance in the 2024 UniCredit Youth America’s Cup in Barcelona with a strong finish in the semi-final race. Despite leading from start to finish in the last race, they narrowly missed out on a spot in the final. Skipper Cole Tapper and his team showed incredible speed and determination throughout the competition, impressing onlookers with their skills on the water.
The top two teams from the semi-final, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Italy and NYYC American Magic USA, advanced to the final match race on September 26th. Andoo Team Australia, finishing 5th overall, garnered attention and support in Barcelona for their courageous campaign without their own practice boat.
Looking ahead, the America’s Cup schedule shifts to the Puig Women’s America’s Cup, with training beginning next week and racing commencing on October 5th. The Andoo Team Australia campaign is backed by sponsors Andoo, Myer, ExpenseMe, and Ray White Commercial, along with official suppliers Musto, Bolle, News Corp, and SailorGirlHQ.
The cruising Yacht Club of Australia serves as the club of record for Australia, and racing broadcasts are available on Fox Sports and Kayo Freebies in Australia.
