Harken has signed as a technical supplier to INEOS TEAM UK, supporting the team in its campaign for the 36th America\u2019s Cup.<\/p>\n
The sailing team has been working with Harken designing, testing and manufacturing componentry integral to the performance of the team\u2019s test boat, coded named \u2018T5\u2019 together with two AC75 race boats.<\/p>\n
Harken will also supply the team with deck hardware including winches and pedestals, gearboxes, blocks and hydraulic componentry produced in the company\u2019s American and Italian factories.<\/p>\n
INEOS TEAM UK team principal and skipper, Ben Ainslie and CEO, Grant Simmer, both have historic relationships with Harken; Harken supported Ben during his successful Olympic campaigns in the Finn dinghy and Grant has previously worked with the marine hardware company throughout his Cup career.<\/p>\n
Never-before-imagined<\/p>\n
\u201cEach Cup cycle is unique. We well may look back on this one and remember it for these never-before-imagined AC75 foiling monohulls,\u201d said Grant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith so much to learn and so much to create for the first time, we must limit risk wherever we can.<\/p>\n
\u201cSelecting Harken was the natural choice\u2014as much for the confidence they\u2019ll deliver, as for the quality of what they\u2019ll build for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harken chairman, Peter Harken added: \u201cThis work we\u2019re doing with INEOS TEAM UK represents some of the toughest challenges we\u2019ll ever confront. It\u2019s not going too far to say we built our whole company to be ready for what we\u2019re doing here.\u201d<\/p>\n
INEOS TEAM UK will launch its first AC75 race boat in the Solent this summer.<\/p>\n
