Ainslie Busting Gut For The Cup

Ben Ainslie and his crew are practicing sailing under tough weather condition before the America’s Cup.


The view of the match was like Ainslie is busting his gut in the quest of the cup. Who knows what will happen in the championship but, when practice is tough then there are always a positive hope.

It requires complete concentration, quick and accurate extensions to get things on right track. (more…)
