The Royal Gazette captured Tom Slingsby’s anticipation of the 2016 races. ORACLE TEAM USA’s helmsman and sailing team manager does not like being in second place going into 2016’s World Series races. He wants to be in the lead at all times, at every turn. ORACLE is currently training on the San Francisco Bay to get their team ready to take over Emirate Team New Zealand’s first place status. Stay tuned and get ready for the 2017 America’s Cup in Bermuda – watch the highlights of the Finals -Race 19 in 2013 on San Francisco Bay.
