AmericaOne
San Pedro Training Chronicles

Following the launch and christening of our first new IACC yacht USA 49, as AmericaOne on July 17, team members are half way through seven weeks of trials at their San Pedro facility. The new boat is tuning up against her trial horse OneAustralia as sparring partner until boat Number Two is completed and is delivered to the team base in New Zealand later this fall.
