A second US syndicate is hoping to enter the America's Cup.
Team USA21, described as a grassroots effort built around Taylor Canfield's successful match-racing team, want to join the New York Yacht Club to contest the 2021 Cup in Auckland, reports Sail-World.com.
One of Canfield's crew, Mike Buckley, said the hardest thing was raising money for the challenge.
Buckley is an American professional sailor competing in a variety of keelboats ranging from Melges 24's to TP52's in match and fleet racing. He joined Canfield's team on the World Match Racing Tour this year and was involved with their Congressional Cup win.
He said plans for a tilt at the Cup swung into action when Emirates Team New Zealand beat Oracle in Bermuda last year.
