Two Teams
Team Canada consists of two distinct squads: the Women’s team and the Youth team. The athletes will train together but compete in separate races. The Women’s team, composed of a crew of four, competes during the America’s Cup Final series in early October 2024 and is led by Isabella Bertold. Andrew Wood is the Youth Team Lead, and similar to the Women, the team is a four-person crew. Both teams will engage in fleet racing, followed by a match race series for the top two countries. The Youth event happens in late September 2024 alongside the America’s Cup Challenger series.
Overseeing Team Canada is CEO Jim Turner, a highly accomplished sailor from New Zealand with over 20 years of America’s Cup experience.
Team Canada’s goal is to win the first-ever Women’s America’s Cup and the Youth America’s Cup regattas in Barcelona 2024, inspiring greater participation, excellence and pride across Canada.
