Jump on board Jimmy Spithill’s AC75 yacht as we take you on an immersive ride to the centre of one of the planet's wildest races - The America's Cup. Hear what it sounds like being in the middle of the action with a team functioning in high pressure, at high pace and using the latest global technology to go faster than anyone before on water. Australian Spithill - the Luna Rossa helmsman - shares how his upbringing equipped him to be one of the best in the sport, how he remains unimaginably calm in the heat of battle and how the team work together to hopefully win the biggest prize in sailing.
