American Magic & AC75 Patriot

New York Yacht Club’s American Magic have successfully launched and completed tow testing and other checks on their AC75 Patriot, ahead of starting sailing and testing from their base in Pensacola.

The AC37 Joint Recon team is working in Pensacola with long-time America’s Cup photographer Paul Todd covering the team’s every move outside the shed for the Recon program.

Here’s his view of the day, along with the video highlights of the tow test.
