From gamer to sailor: the ultimate crossover

But this doesn’t end here! In a historic first, the top two finishers in the America’s Cup e-Series championship will earn the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transition from virtual champions to real-world sailors.

They will undergo a three-day training program, including simulator sessions and hands-on experience with the AC40, before facing off against the winning team of the inaugural Unicredit Youth America's Cup on the waters of Barcelona.
