Yesterday marked the announcement of the 12 youth teams to be invited to the February Selection Series, taking place from the 9th-24th February in San Francisco. These 12 teams are some of the best national youth sailing teams in the world, and their skills and competences will be put to the test in February.<\/p>\n<p>The 12 teams were chosen by the Sports Directors for the Youth America&#039;s Cup; double Olympic gold\u00a0medallists\u00a0Roman Hagara and Hans-Peter Steinacher. They looked through over 30 youth team\u00a0pplications, assessing their fitness, how the teams<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10005\" title=\"San Francisco America&#039;s Cup\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/San-Francisco-Americas-Cup-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> worked together as a crew, and of course their standard of sailing. They needed to choose the best of the bunch, given they shall be sailing the physically demanding AC45 wing sail catamarans in both the selection series and the race in September.\u00a0These are the same boats that will be raced by the teams in the AC World Series, proving just how good these young sailors have to be, to be able to sail the same boats as the more experienced racing teams. <\/p>\n<p>The selections will be held in two sessions, with one group sailing the 9-15th February and the other group the 18-24th February. The teams will be put through a rigorous training workshop and regatta, to see just how good they are, and put the very best on the start line for the main event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The youth teams selected are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Australia \u2013 Objective Australia \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Argentina \u2013 Argentina AC45 Youth Team<\/li>\n<li>Austria \u2013 Team Austria \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0France \u2013 French Youth Team<\/li>\n<li>Denmark \u2013 Danish Vikings \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Italy \u2013 Team Italy<\/li>\n<li>Germany \u2013 STG\/NRV Youth America\u2019s Cup Team \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Netherlands \u2013 Flying Dutchies<\/li>\n<li>New Zealand \u2013 Full Metal Jacket Racing \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Portugal \u2013 Team Cascais<\/li>\n<li>South Africa \u2013 Team i\u2019KaziKati \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Switzerland \u2013 Team TILT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to know more about <strong><a title=\"The America&#039;s Cup 2013\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2012\/12\/03\/the-americas-cup-2013\/?bbr=bblog\" target=\"_blank\">The America&#039;s Cup 2013<\/a><\/strong>, watch this space for the latest industry show releases, news and gossip in the yachting world.
