Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Kicks-off in Toulon

ORACLE TEAM USA has announced that Olympic gold medalist Tom Slingsby will take over for skipper Jimmy Spithill at the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Toulon this weekend.

“This was always something we had to be prepared for as a team,” Slingsby said.

“In any position on board, you want to have a good back-up who can step in. Jimmy is very talented and experienced. I know it won’t be easy but I’m looking forward to the opportunity.”
