ARC Team USA strengthens sailing squad

America’s Cup challenger ARC Team USA has strengthened its sailing squad with the additions of Annie Haeger and Ben Rosenberg as the team builds towards the 2027 selection series in Naples, Italy.

Haeger was a member of the US Olympic Sailing Team at Rio 2016, where she finished seventh in the women’s 470 class alongside Briana Provancha. She was named US Sailing’s Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year in 2015 and Women’s College Sailor of the Year in 2011. A six-time national champion, she also won gold at the 2015 Olympic Test Event in Rio and has been a member of the Canada SailGP Team.

“Representing the United States at the highest level of sailing is always an incredible privilege,” noted Haeger. “There’s so much talent and ambition within this team, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the challenge ahead. I also hope that seeing more women competing at this level inspires the next generation to aim just as high.” – Full report
