Rhody TodayUri alum tom burnham leads u.s. challenger in 37th america’s cup. Cup racing opens Aug. 22 with preliminary regatta in Barcelona  KINGSTON, R.I. – Aug. 19, 2024 – It’s probably no surprise that sailing led Tom Burnham ’93 to the University of Rhode Island. Now head coach of the New York Yacht Club’s America’s Cup challenger, American Magic, Burnham grew up sailing in Orange, Connecticut. In his senior year of high school, already competing at the international level, Burnham raced in the 420s championship in Yugoslavia. As luck would have it, teammates on the U.S. team included some URI sailors who sang the university’s praises. When Burnham returned to Connecticut, it was the spring of his senior year. He had committed to another school, but he took time to visit URI. “I’ve sailed all my life. I was never a standout superstar but I was always involved in sailing and loved sailing,” Burnham says over the phone from Barcelona, Spain, as American Magic prepares for the 37th America’s Cup, which starts Aug. 22 with the preliminary regatta. “It was one of the main reasons I went to URI, frankly. And the sailing team was really good at the time.”  Burnham’s addition to the URI team didn’t hurt either. In his four years at URI, the sailing team won several national championships and reached the World Collegiate Keelboat Championships – also called the Student Yachting World Cup – all four years. In 1990, the Rams became the only U.S. team to win the World Cup. It’s a distinction they still hold 34 years later. Led by All-American Lars Guck, the eight-person team beat Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, France, and Australia in a field of nine other boats to take the championship, winning the last three races. Burnham remembers the great team atmosphere among URI’s eight sailors. “I look back on that team and think of how we had some tough times during the event,” says Burnham, the bowman during the regatta, handling the sails in windy conditions. “It was a pretty long event. There were a lot of challenging conditions and some tough sailing. We worked really hard together and gelled as a team without a whole lot of practice.” To celebrate, the team drove overnight to Paris after the winning race and ended up at the Hotel de Ville, the city hall of Paris, where the mayor awarded them a trophy. When they flew into T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, then-URI President Edward Eddy and others were there to greet them. The team members still stay in touch, Burnham says. “Funny enough, I got a message just two days ago from one of the women on the team, Tara Walcott, with a photo of us from that trip, just out of the blue,” says Burnham, who lives in Newport. “Lars, the skipper, his son is now a sailor at URI. And my son, who is going to be a senior in high school, wants to apply to URI and be on the sailing team. [We’re] trying to keep the tradition going.” Burnham, a team captain for two or three seasons at URI, describes himself as a team player, a role player, a team leader – and less of a standout performer. But he has put together a career on the water that would make many envious – while being among the lucky several hundred sailors who make a living at it as a professional. “There’s no question that my time at URI and my time as part of the sailing team really made a huge impact on my life,” he says. His career started by being in the right place at the right time. In 1997, he was living in Newport, doing some coaching and taking care of people’s boats, when he got an invitation to go out for a day with America’s Cup challenger Young America, which was training in nearby Quonset Point. That turned into a job that started a 10-year run of competing in the America’s Cup, including two campaigns with the Italian team, Luna Rossa. In 2017, he returned to the America’s Cup as head coach of Sweden’s Artemis Racing. He was hired about two years ago to coach the New York Yacht Club American Magic. The mission was to win the 37th America’s Cup, returning the Cup to the yacht club that held it for 132 years. The mission starts Aug. 22 when American Magic gets its first close-up look at the four challengers – Britain, Italy, Switzerland, and France – and defending champion Emirates Team New Zealand in preliminary regatta. The racing starts for real Aug. 29 with the start of the Louis Vuitton Cup round-robin regatta. The regatta’s winner will face New Zealand for the America’s Cup, starting Oct. 12. In those two years readying for the Cup, American Magic has put together its eight-man crew and substitutes and built a brand new AC75, the 75-foot-long monohull racing yacht that the Cup adopted in 2021. The yacht – Patriot – was the work of the club’s more than 40 engineers, about a third of the club’s total workforce. Patriot was built in Portsmouth at the yacht club’s manufacturing facility and flown to Barcelona on a huge Antonov cargo plane.  “The whole technology, construction, and design side is really a big part of the program with America’s Cup teams,” he says. “So that’s really exciting.” Asked about his role as head coach, his first thoughts go to creating an inclusive team atmosphere. “My real goal, my focus as a coach, is to create the environment for learning … where people feel comfortable asking questions and allowing themselves to be open to input, feedback and learning together,” he says. As the crew practices off the Port of Barcelona, Burnham coaches from a chase boat, following behind Patriot and communicating directly with its crew. When racing begins, he will be in the chase boat, but stationed to the side of the race course and not allowed communication with Patriot. “That’s part of the reason why fostering this atmosphere and getting guys to work together and problem-solve is so important,” he says. “They have to be self-reliant and deal with things as they come up while they’re racing.” The crew will get to start testing their pre-race preparation when the preliminary regatta starts. It’s strictly a dress rehearsal for organizers and racing teams – no one’s keeping points. “We’re working through different starting strategies and techniques on how we’re sailing the boat. Then there’s the new technology going on the boat every day,” Burnham says about their practices. “[We’re deciding] how much we want to keep changing things and continuing to evolve; or, do we lock down some of the technology so we can be consistent with how we’re sailing the boat. Because you learn it really well when it’s not changing as much.” Asked to handicap the Cup, Burnham starts with his standard line: It will be close and come down to execution on race day. But he adds: “I certainly like our sailing team … and I think the boats are going to be relatively similar. There are going to be some boats that have better days than others in terms of wind conditions. There might be some teams that are great in heavy air but not so good in light air. These are all things we’re going to find out in the next couple of weeks. “I think that we’re doing well and we’re in a good place, but I’m certainly not overconfident about it either.”  WBD to show the America’s Cup across EuropeAugust 20, 2024  Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) and the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup have announced a broadcast partnership that will bring live sailing coverage from the world’s oldest sporting competition to viewers across Europe.

Capital Gazette eNewspaper Sports | Terry Hutchinson set to lead American Magic into 37th America’s CupHarwood native moves from sailing crew to management role.  That has been the ultimate goal for the Harwood native ever since he became a professional sailor directly out of Old Dominion University, where he was a two-time College Sailor of the Year. Hutchinson has been part of four previous America’s Cup campaigns as a sailor beginning in 2000 as mainsail trimmer for AmericaOne. He came closest to capturing the America’s Cup in 2007 as tactician for Team New Zealand, which won the challenger series but lost to Alinghi Racing in the championship match. In 2018, Hutchinson took the lead in forming his own America’s Cup syndicate — founding American Magic with the financial backing of billionaire businessmen Doug DeVos and Hap Fauth. Fast forward to 2024 and Hutchinson is still trying to capture the America’s Cup, albeit now as team management and not an on-water sailor. The 1986 St. Mary’s High graduate is president of sailing operations and skipper for American Magic, which is mounting a second attempt to claim the Auld Mug. After spending more than two decades pursuing sailboat racing’s holy grail, would winning the America’s Cup be just as sweet for Hutchinson without doing so as a competitive sailor aboard the boat? “It’s certainly something that you grapple with,” Hutchinson told The Capital during a phone interview from Barcelona, where he is helping American Magic prepare for the 37th America’s Cup regatta with the AC75 Patriot. “Ultimately, it’s a team sport. Whenever I have been with Bella Mente or Quantum Racing, we always won or lost as a team. My job here is to facilitate having this boat win. If we’re fortunate to be successful, it will absolutely be just as satisfying.” Following a disappointing result in the 2021 Prada Cup challenger series, American Magic shut down operations for almost a year while the syndicate leadership decided whether or not to move forward. DeVos and Fauth elected to continue their pursuit of the America’s Cup with one caveat — that Hutchinson focus his energy and expertise on managing the sailing team. “Doug and Hap asked that I step off the boat and support the sailing team ashore — to help facilitate the success on the water. Our personal relationships are the foundation for the whole campaign and it was out of respect for them that I agreed with that suggestion,” Hutchinson said. “We decided it would be best to have the sailors with more experience in the foiling boats on the race crew.” Hutchinson was grateful DeVos and Fauth committed to continue their financial support of the syndicate, while at the same time making it clear that doing so was the logical choice. “Doug and Hap are experienced sailors and understood that in many ways we were a start-up program,” he said. “We faltered a little bit, but also made tremendous progress. We’d done way too much work and developed too great an infrastructure to let all that go.”  American Magic rebootThis marks the second iteration of the AC75 Class design rule, which calls for a 75-foot monohull featuring wing-like hydrofoils that lift the high-tech boats out of the water. American Magic has worked hard to assemble a roster filled with sailors that have significant foiling experience. New to the team for the 37th America’s Cup is Australian Tom Slingsby, the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in Laser class. The 39-year-old from Sydney won the inaugural SailGP series as skipper for the Australian entry aboard the F50 foiling catamarans. “Tom’s skill set is on display in SailGP and he is the most current of our sailing team in that [foiling] world,” Hutchinson said. “Tom is an incredibly talented sailor, but it would be an unreasonable expectation to think he is going to win this regatta for American Magic. It’s always a team effort and all the sailors abroad along with the 171 people supporting them are critically important in their own way.” Slingsby serves as starboard helmsman with Michael Menninger as the flight controller and trimmer on that side. Paul Goodison is port helmsman and is backed by Andrew Campbell as flight controller and trimmer. Goodison was aboard American Magic as main trimmer for the 2021 America’s Cup, while Campbell was a flight controller. Menninger is new to the team. Hutchinson serves as sounding board, providing ideas and dispensing advice. During training sessions, he follows Patriot in a speedy motorboat, then imparts his observations during debrief sessions. “Not racing on the boat provides a different perspective. In a lot of ways, you can help more by riding around in a chase boat because you have more time to see and think about things,” Hutchinson said. “It’s really difficult to coach Tom Slingsby, Paul Goodison, Andrew Campbell and Michael Menninger because they’re all great sailors and really good at their jobs,” Hutchinson added. “My job is to support their instincts and try to present a different perspective when necessary. To be good at my job I have to make sure I’m listening and understanding the science behind the boat.” Completing the crew aboard the American Magic AC75 are four cyclists. They replace grinders by using leg muscles to power the boat’s hydraulic systems. Hutchinson said the team intends to rotate a total of 10 cyclists because of the physicality of their job. After making the decision to continue the American Magic campaign, the first thing the syndicate leadership did was hire Scott Ferguson as design coordinator. He was responsible for assembling a 45-member design team. Britton Ward, an Annapolis resident and vice president of Farr Yacht Design, teamed with Pete Melvin to design the hull.  Technological marvelsHutchinson has been pleased with the AC75 the design team produced. This second generation version of Patriot is much smaller and lighter (by 1,000 kilograms) than its 2021 predecessor. By rule, the foil arms are 250 millimeters longer and the foil box is bigger than American Magic’s previous AC75. Designers removed three athletes from the boat and switched from arm to leg power. American Magic was the only competing syndicate that chose to put its cyclists in the recumbent position. “I think this Patriot is impressively different from the previous version. Aerodynamically it’s a much better boat,” Hutchinson said. “It’s also a boat that’s designed to be very good in maneuvers and taking off quickly. Our goal was to highlight the things we didn’t do well in AC 36 and improve upon those, which I think we did.” These 75-foot foiling monohulls are technological marvels with the massive wingsail very much like an airplane wing. Hutchinson said the newest Patriot can achieve takeoff in just six knots of breeze and can reach speeds of 50 knots in just 17 knots of wind with flat water. Some purists argue that this is no longer true sailing and cite the fact so much of the AC75 operation relies on hydraulic systems to support that stand. Crew members don’t hoist or douse the sails or perform many of the other tasks that are commonplace aboard typical sailboats. Hutchinson disagrees with that assessment and said strategy, tactics, trimming and overall sailing skill are still important. Boat-handling and setup are also still critical. The Anne Arundel County Sports Hall of Fame member compared it to the difference between driving a standard vehicle compared to a Formula 1 race car. “Everything is amplified even more because the speeds of these boats are so much higher. If the boat is out of balance it becomes catastrophic to performance,” he said. “All the same sailing principles apply, it’s just a vastly different platform.” American Magic’s schedule called for 18 months of design time, 12 months of build time and six months of sailing. In terms of actual competition, the Louis Vuitton Cup begins Aug. 29 and concludes Oct. 7. At the end of Round Robin 2, which concludes Sept. 8, one of the five challengers will be eliminated with the top four advancing to the semifinals. “The hard part of the America’s Cup is that you do years of hard work for eight weeks of racing,” Hutchinson said. “It’s a massive investment for very little racing.” All six participating syndicates will get a chance to gauge the competition during the Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta, which begins Thursday in Barcelona. Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli is the Challenger of Record, while other contenders are Ineos Britannia (Great Britain), Alinghi Red Bull Racing (Switzerland) and Orient Express Racing (France). Defender Team New Zealand will participate in the preliminary regatta to test its AC75.

Will the air temperature in Barcelona ever stop sizzling? The first look at the five Challenger teams and the Defender will be the final Preliminary Regatta on August 22-25, 2024. The match racing format has four races per day, with the top two AC75s advancing to one-race, winner-takes-all Grand Final. While the results from the event don’t impact the America’s Cup, they will certainly impact each team’s performance plan going forward.
