No matter what angle you look at American Magic’s new Cup boat, she looks slippery. Low drag above and below the waterline characterises the boat that the team hopes will take them all the way through to the America’s Cup. This low-profile appearance also makes her look like the smallest boat in the fleet and explains why some argue that Patriot is the slickest of the Challengers.
But aside from their impressive AC75, when you look at the statistics the NYYC American Magic team have clocked up the most time on the water with an estimated 338 days afloat across all of their boats.
So, we went to Barcelona to talk to the team to find out how they were feeling about their campaign and the new boat.

Road to 37th America's Cup is produced in association with Yanmar who commissioned this series.
