Led by the most successful Olympic sailor of all time and America's Cup winner, Sir Ben Ainslie, INEOS Britannia is the Challenger of Record for the 37th America’s Cup and the British team is competing for a third successive campaign. The America’s Cup is the oldest international sporting trophy – dating back to 1851 – and stands as one of the hardest technical sporting endeavors with only four nations ever winning the Auld Mug.

Pierluigi Orsi, Head of Fluid Dynamics Group, INEOS Britannia said: “The America’s Cup is a race on the water and in the design office, with the speed and accuracy of our design tools having a direct impact on the race boat reaching its optimal performance and beyond. It’s essential that we can be fast and reactive in our development to enable race winning design decisions. Therefore, we are delighted to be working with Navasto, who are pioneering the adaptation of artificial intelligence in engineering processes, with no room for error we need our CFD to be accurate, fast and reliable and their tools deliver in all those areas.”

The 37th America’s Cup will take place between August and October 2024 in the beating heart of beautiful Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia and one of the most visited cities on planet Earth.
