Yanmar Co., Ltd., together with the CEO of official technical partner ORACLE TEAM USA and distinguished sailing legend Russell Coutts, made a show of support to the global sailing media and the young sailors who are the future of the sport. The events started in New York on May 5 before moving on to Yanmar Marina at Moriyama in Japan's Shiga prefecture and the port of Hayama in Kanagawa prefecture.
Since 2013, Yanmar has been the official partner of ORACLE TEAM USA, the current defending champions of the world's most prestigious yacht race, the America's Cup. Yanmar supplies 8LV diesel engines and ZT drive systems for the chase boats that are an integral component of the team's setup. ORACLE TEAM USA chose Yanmar based on its reputation for reliability.
The latest chase boat, Yanmar1, boasts of a winning combination of speed, power, and durability, all of which are critical in races where boats reach speeds of up to 45 knots (over 80 km/h). This boat was formally presented to the race team before the 35th Luis Vuitton America's Cup World Series in New York on May 5. As the official technical partner of constantly improving ORACLE TEAM USA, Yanmar is keen to contribute to their third straight victory at the America's Cup.
Yanmar is also committed to harnessing the experiences obtained in the course of the America's Cup as well as important networking connections to the benefit of sailing in Japan. Key events such as YANMAR CUP 2016 in BIWAKO and YANMAR Moth Worlds 2016 help promote the sport of yacht racing in Japan while providing more opportunities for major races and raising public awareness of marine sports in general.
