    American Magic have added one of the world's best sailors to their team for the next edition of the America's Cup


    Australian Tom Slingsby - an America's Cup winner with Oracle in 2013 - has decided to link up with the current American syndicate for the 2024 series in Barcelona.

    Slingsby was named the 2021 World Sailor of the Year and won a gold medal in 2012.

    He also holds dual citizenship with the United States and Australia, ensuring he helps meet the nationality rules under the protocol for the 37th edition.
