Pajot back in the Cup game

A new French challenge is waiting in the wings

A new French syndicate has allegedly lodged a challenge to compete in the forthcoming 33rd America’s Cup. Marc Pajot is acting as CEO of the 'French Spirit' challenge based in Saint-Tropez.

The founding members of the new French challenger have been working for quite some time gathering talent and putting together essential structures to set up a team capable of performing.

However, given the state of uncertainty regarding the immediate future of the next match, the management of the challenge wish to refrain from giving any further information about the development of the operations until the current litigation between BMW Oracle/GGYC and Alinghi/SNG is settled.
