World’s coolest yachts: AC75 ‘RB3’

‘RB3’ was the hull title of INEOS Britannia, the AC75 the British America’s Cup group sailed within the thirty seventh America’s Cup Match in opposition to Emirates Staff New Zealand after profitable the Louis Vuitton Cup Challengers Collection – the most effective British efficiency in over 90 years.

Dylan Fletcher shared America’s Cup helming duties with group boss Sir Ben Ainslie.

“My coolest yacht must be both Shamrock IV or RB3,” he explains, “The 2 most profitable British challenges of the Cup.

“RB3 definitely means probably the most to me, given it was my first time crusing a Cup boat and it was such an epic expertise.

“Crusing RB3 was breathtaking. An enormous leap from the AC40 into an unimaginable piece of engineering that may be very rewarding to sail, massively technical, that requires finesse to maximise the efficiency. Lastly fulfilling a dream to helm a British America’s Cup was one thing else.”
