Lined up to defend the prestigious trophy on the San Francisco Bay since September 7th, ORACLE TEAM USA staged one of the greatest comebacks in the history of sport, winning eight consecutive races to take the 34th America's Cup in its deciding race.
It has been a fantastic battle and exciting match, attracting record-breaking crowds for a unique experience. ORACLE TEAM USA demonstrated real sportsmanship, skill and determination to rally from a seven-point deficit. The entire team continuously made modifications to the flying AC72 to dramatically improve its performance - reaching speeds never seen before in the America’s Cup.
Congratulations to ORACLE TEAM USA for its fighting spirit and incredible performance!
Dassault Systèmes is proud to be associated with this victory as an official supplier. In one of the greatest technological challenges in the history of sailboat racing, Dassault Systèmes has helped ORACLE TEAM USA to rapidly design, build, test, and perfect the fastest, lightest, strongest boat it could develop thanks to the collaborative, virtual design experience enabled by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, pushing the boundaries of sailing performance.
The winner of the 34th America's Cup chose Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including CATIA for virtual product design, ENOVIA for collaborative innovation, and SIMULIA for realistic simulation.
