New York Yacht Club American Magic, U.S. Challenger for the 37th America’s Cup, has named Pro-Set Epoxy (Bay City, Mich., U.S.), as an official supplier for their campaign. This collaboration highlights the critical role of cutting-edge materials and technology in the world of competitive sailing, particularly in elite events like the America’s Cup. Pro-Set is a provider of high-performance epoxy resin and adhesive products known for their strength, durability and versatility, making them a natural choice for the demanding conditions of competitive sailing. The company was also chosen as a supplier for the team back in 2018.
American Magic will use Pro-Set Epoxies in the construction of the AC75, a 23-meter monohull designed to sail above water on advanced hydrofoils. Pro-Set will supply American Magic with its proprietary adhesives and epoxy resins, as well as laminate testing services.
In addition to the technical advantages offered by Pro-Set’s products, the partnership also highlights the importance of fostering strong relationships within the sailing community. As a supplier, Pro-Set joins a select group of companies dedicated to supporting American Magic’s pursuit of excellence both on and off the water.
The 37th America’s Cup will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from August-October 2024, where Pro-Set will continue to be an essential supplier to the team.
