American Magic is a professional sailing team looking for exceptional athletes to join our team in our quest to
win the 37th America's Cup in 2024 in Barcelona. A change in the class rule means incorporating legs to power
the instruments on the yacht is now an exciting new option. New Zealand previously utilized this method in
their successful campaign for the 35th America's Cup in Bermuda:

in sailing and working with some of the highest caliber athletes and coaches sailing has to offer.

Well, all I can say is you've come to the right place to recruit.

Does WADA have guys in boats checking things? This seems rife for abuse.

 

[PaigeTurner]

They should do a physical 100 in the states.

 

[One Wheel]

I've got the passport and 85kg+. That's all I really need, right?

Why don't they have aerobars, are they illegal????
If I can use aerobars, I may consider this.

 

[jannmayer]

Sign me up! I'm over 85 kg and an engineer! I can also produce 450 watts, although not all at the same time.

I have never ridden a bike while wearing a life jacket so I can't say how that will affect my performance.

You probably wouldn't be interested. They don't use triples.

I wouldn't use a triple on a boat, think; there are no hills! Water is flat! Aerobars would crush them in the sprint.
