TUDOR IS BACK ON THE WATER WITH TUDOR TEAM ALINGHI AHEAD OF THE 38TH AMERICA’S CUP!

At the end of December 2025, TUDOR made the decision to get back in the water with Tudor Team Alinghi by confirming its participation in the 38th America’s Cup, bringing long awaited clarity to its future in the competition.  Since then, the team has kept a low profile publicly while working intensively behind the scenes, growing from seven people to around 50 team members today. With its boats based in Barcelona, the team has begun its on-water preparation on the waters that hosted the last America’s Cup. While the sailing team is not yet final – the AC40 requires fewer sailors on board than the AC75 racing yacht – the Swiss challenger is actively testing different sailor configurations. Being Born to Dare means always striving to improve incrementally, even when no one is watching. Significantly refreshed since the last Cup, partly due to rule changes, the Team has now identified the five sailors who will be in Sardinia for the opening regatta of the 38th America’s Cup. The crew is led by Olympic and multiple world champion Paul Goodison (GBR), Skipper and Helmsman, and consists of (in alphabetical order).  Meet them below!

Nathalie Brugger (SUI) – Helmswoman in the inaugural Women’s

America’s Cup in 2024 with Alinghi Red Bull Racing.

Phil Robertson (NZL) – Helmsman; previously coach of the team during

the 37th America’s Cup campaign.

Nicolas Rolaz (SUI) – Trimmer; the youngest Team Member, preparing for

his second America’s Cup.

Pietro Sibello (ITA) – Trimmer; Head Coach during the last campaign, now

eligible as a national sailor for the current event under the rules.

Jason Waterhouse (AUS) – Helmsman/Trimmer, as well with the

coaching team during the 37th America’s Cup.
