American Magic and Quantum Racing form high performance partnership

American Magic and Quantum Racing are joining forces to form a high-performance partnership for the 2023 season. This is the first time the two teams have formally collaborated and will see Quantum Racing rebranding as Quantum Racing, powered by American Magic.

Winners of this year’s TP52 World Championship and the 52 Super Series title, Quantum Racing, powered by American Magic, says it will incorporate America’s best young talent with experienced global talent and seek to enhance the skill and experience of the teams to ensure that a new group of young American sailors is given a platform to progress. In addition, the team will provide them with access to the overarching American Magic franchise and the broader American marine industry.

“We want to bring the America’s Cup back home to the United States, to be successful in the 52 Super Series, and to allow our sailors to grow and thrive on a clear development pathway,” says Doug DeVos, American Magic team principal, 

“I’m excited about this new chapter and looking forward to staying personally connected to the 52 Super Series and further involvement with the America’s Cup. American Magic is striving to be a unified sailing franchise that will bring the best young American sailing talent together to develop their skills and knowledge on different classes of boats. The best way to maintain a winning team is to nurture our homegrown talent.”

Terry Hutchinson, skipper and president of sailing operations for NYYC American Magic, comments: “American Magic is a high-performance sailing team that is focused on winning the 37th America’s Cup; within that, we’re also developing a pathway for the younger generation of sailors, engineers, boatbuilders, and technicians to enhance the marine industry inside the United States and set us on a trajectory of being a leader on the world stage.”

Further details will be announced by the racing teams in the build-up to the 2023 season.
