Description: Think you know sailing?  Think again... The first ever America's Cup World Series will arrive in Plymouth in September 2011. The world's top sailors will battle it out for the prestigious title, treating spectators to the thrills and spills of the most spectacular, fast and furious yacht racing. Visitors will be able to watch the week long regatta in the fabulous natural amphitheatre of Plymouth Sound and share in the experience of the international teams as they prepare the state of the art AC45 catamarans at the Race Village in Millbay. This is the first time America's Cup sailing has been taken to top venues around the world. The first event is in Portugal in August, the second in Plymouth and then the third will be held in San Diego. The second half of the World Series will be held in 2012, the 34th America's Cup will be held in San Francisco in 2013.
