Neil Hunter from Lamlash has achieved a lifetime’s ambition to be part of the British America’s Cup senior sailing team – Land Rover BAR.
The 21-year-old was most recently skipper aboard the Land Rover BAR Academy GC32 competing in the Extreme Sailing Series and Red Bull Youth America’s Cup, before he was promoted to the senior sailing team.
He will join Sir Ben Ainslie’s British America’s Cup sailing team in Bermuda for training shortly ahead of the 35th America’s Cup, which starts in May.
