Yanmar to Become an Official Technical Partner of ORACLE TEAM USA ORACLE TEAM USA and Yanmar are renewing their partnership for the upcoming edition of the America’s Cup, the competition for the oldest trophy in international sport. In its capacity as an Official Technical Partner, Yanmar will power the team’s campaign for the 35th America’s Cup, hosted in Bermuda, where the crew will defend their title in 2017. This represents a renewed partnership between two leaders in their respective fields, continuing a successful collaboration during the 34th edition of the America’s Cup held in 2013, when the team celebrated its victory over Emirates Team New Zealand, after a dramatic three weeks of racing that resulted in one of the all-time greatest comebacks in sport. Yanmar has a wealth of experience in delivering technologically sophisticated marine engines, drive systems, and products and service of unparalleled performance and quality. Yanmar will pursue the highest levels of technological excellence towards assisting the crew in their pursuit of victory in the 2017 finals. The company will provide 8LV inboard marine diesel engines and ZT sterndrive systems for the team’s two 46-foot chase boats, renamed “Chase Boat YANMAR 1” and “Chase Boat YANMAR 2”, respectively. Not limited to towing, the boats play the essential role of tracking race progress, gathering and analyzing data on the crew’s daily performance and being ready to provide support for any eventuality. A dependable partner during training at the team’s base in Bermuda, the boats will assist the crew all the way through to the final battle of 2017. “Yanmar is critical for ORACLE TEAM USA”, said skipper Jimmy Spithill. “The race boats are so fast now, the only way we can have our chase boats stay close enough to support us is to have them powered by the right engines. “The chase boats help us gather and analyze data on the performance of the race boats. The durability and reliability of the Yanmar engines allow us to go into the race with confidence. We are going for our third straight victory with Yanmar”. In its capacity as a partner of the team, Yanmar’s distinctive logo will be displayed on the race and chase boats, as well as uniforms and a variety of promotional material. “It is a great honor for all of us at Yanmar to partner with ORACLE TEAM USA for the second time,” said Ken Araki, Officer of Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd. “Being selected by the world’s leading racing team is proof of the durability and reliability of our engines. From the preliminary stages of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series to the 2017 America’s Cup finals, Yanmar will stand by the team, looking forward to working together towards a triumph in the America’s Cup.” Yanmar will increase its brand exposure through association with the world’s leading racing team, further building a premium brand as a provider of superior technologies and products, while joining the crew on their path to a third consecutive victory in the America’s Cup. 1. About ORACLE TEAM USA: ORACLE TEAM USA has won the last two America’s Cup events, including a historic come-from-behind victory in September 2013.

The team was founded by Larry Ellison in 2000 and first won the America’s Cup in 2010. Website: http://oracle-team- usa.americascup.com/en/home.html 2.

Beginning in 1851, the America's Cup predates the modern Olympic Games by 45 years, football's World Cup by 79 years and golf's Open Championship by 9 years, making the well-known trophy the oldest sporting prize still awarded in modern times. 5.

    ETNZ History Part 1

    THE HISTORY OF ETNZ - PART 1 As the 36th America’s Cup draws ever nearer, our lengthy alliance with Emirates Team New Zealand has once again piqued a keen interest in the yachting world from within the Hydraulink community. As such, we have decided to celebrate the return of the upcoming Cup season with a series of emails diving deep into New Zealand’s history in the America’s Cup. Over the next few months, we’ll take you on a journey into the past and back again, with an in-depth insider’s view of Team New Zealand’s triumphs and disasters. TE KAHU - THE HAWK With the team’s recent reveal of their new custom designed and built test boat, ‘Te Kãhu’, we thought this the perfect chance to take a look at this new boat, its purpose and what exactly it means for the team. With a hydraulic system on-board that utilises Hydraulink hoses and fittings, this is a project very near to our hearts and we’re incredibly proud to have contributed to the build of this ground-breaking yacht. Purpose-built by ETNZ’s dedicated team of over 30 skilled boat builders, Te Kãhu was created to allow the sailing crew to continue their on-wa- ter development program without delay, whilst Te Aihe is packed up and shipped to Europe in preparation for the first of the America’s Cup World Series events beginning in April. While the series’ rules on test yachts dictated that this boat be limited to a length of 12m or less in comparison to Te Aihe’s larger 20.7 metre hull, don’t be fooled by her size – Te Kãhu is every bit as technologically advanced as Te Aihe.

THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE BIRTH OF FOILING IN THE AMERICA'S CUP. In late August 2012 a grainy photo of a boat emerged online. Most hardened America’s Cup follow- ers will clearly remember the image that was the talk of the sailing world for many weeks. A high angle shot, looking down on a giant 72 foot red and black Emirates Team New Zealand catamaran seemingly flying above the waters of the Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour. Debate raged: “OMG photoshopped of course,” “Can't be foiling - anyone can see fro m that picture they're simply launched off a wave.” “On close inspection it is photoshop. You can see where the bow and stern were in the water. They have cut, lifted an pushed the boat forward 1/2 a boat length. Shame. That was cool for about 5 min” An image that was so far outside the realms of the imagination of most people - but not those inside the base of Emirates Team New Zealand. The cat was out of the bag, foiling had arrived. But there had been many months of secretive R&D meet- ings at Emirates T eam New Zealand that went into developing a concept that would transform the world of America’s Cup racing forever.

  • 2013 Sustainability Report Introduction

    2013 Sustainability Report Introduction

    2013 sustainability report introduction our vision for the 34th america’s cup was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event. The America’s Cup is the world’s premier sailing race, and the oldest trophy in international sport, predating the modern Olympic Games by 45 years. The America’s Cup is named after the schooner America, which won a race around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851, against a fleet of British yachts. Four nations have won the America’s Cup in its 162-year history: the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. ORACLE TEAM USA won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. ORACLE TEAM USA, representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and the Golden Gate Yacht Club selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. The America’s Cup Event Authority (“ACEA”) aspired to implement best practice standards in delivering a sustainable 34TH America’s Cup event in San Francisco. Our vision was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event and to leave a positive legacy in the community and on the sport of sailing. ACEA published the 34TH America’s Cup Sustainability Plan 1 (“Sustainability Plan”) in March 2012, outlining our approach to delivering sustainable event activities in San Francisco. We pledged to understand our impacts, reduce potentially negative impacts as far as possible, and maximize legacy benefits. Since that time, ACEA has monitored and tracked the event’s performance and progress in order to inform stakeholders and the public about activities and achievements, and provide transparent reporting on event activities in San Francisco.
