Success starts from the top and a winning team simply cannot exist
without strong, decisive leadership. ORACLE TEAM USA has one of the very
best in skipper Spithill, who has lead the team to two heroic America's
Cup victories. Intelligent, determined and utterly courageous, Spithill
pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history in 2013
when his team succeeded against unthinkable odds to win eight races in a
row, and consequently the cup with a score of 9-8 after previously
being behind 1-8 - a testament to Spithill's extraordinary ability to
lead whilst remaining focused under extreme pressure.
Supporting ORACLE TEAM USA's leading position and pursuit for
victory in 2017 is Yanmar who is providing ZT sterndrive systems and 8LV
inboard marine diesel engines for the two 46-foot chase boats - aptly
renamed to "Chase Boat YANMAR 1" and "Chase Boat YANMAR 2". With the
highest levels of technological excellence, Yanmar leads the way with
over 100 years experience in delivering technologically sophisticated
marine engines, drive systems, and products of unparalleled performance
and quality - exactly what ORACLE TEAM USA will need to secure another
victory in Bermuda in 2017.
Working as one is crucial in the challenging world of sailing. This
beautiful sport can quickly become dangerous in certain weather
conditions, so it's essential that every member of the crew be united to
achieve success and remain safe.
At the core of the team are the sailors themselves: 14
extraordinary athletes, however the 15th member of the team is Yanmar,
the Japanese manufacturer that supplies ORACLE TEAM USA with high
performing engines for its all-important support vehicles. From docking
out to docking in before and after each race, to man overboard
situations and full on emergencies, the Yanmar-powered support boats are
crucial part of ORACLE TEAM USA's success. The team is so proud of
their 15th team member that they have the Yanmar logo on their race boat
- a reminder that they are a united team that will stick together
through thick and thin.
Through offering superior engines and reliable equipment that can
always be trusted, Yanmar ensures the team remains safe at all times on
the water. As Spithill mentioned "speed's one thing, but reliability is
really key because we can't afford for one of those boats to go down"
and Yanmar's support prevent this from ever happening, whilst instilling
confidence in the team every race.
