Free Solo and Skydance Sports partner to create all-access documentary on the Americas Cup.
If you haven’t watched the climbing documentary Free Solo yet, you’re missing out. The great -and more relevant- news for The Islander readers is that the same people: Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin and Evan Hayes, will now create an all-access docu on the America’s Cup. (Think of it as the equivalent of the Netflix series “Formula 1: Drive to survive”).
THE RESCUE Directors E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.
Producer-Evan-Hayes
For the first time ever, all the teams competing in the iconic sailing event will allow never-before-seen access into their preparations and execution of the race, and the documentary series will showcase the people and the drama – on and off the water – throughout the competition. The 37th America’s Cup will take place in September and October of 2024 in Barcelona where the event’s defending champions, Emirates Team New Zealand, which has won four Cups since 1995, will be challenged by teams including: United States, American Magic; Great Britain, INEOS Britannia; Italy, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli; and Switzerland, Alinghi Red Bull Racing
