Oracle Team USA Collaborating With The Planemaker for The Project
It will be something of an ignoble end to one of the last of the traditional monohull America's Cup yachts. Boeing and Oracle Team USA, winner of the 34th America's Cup, are collaborating to recycle 7,000 pounds of carbon fiber of USA-71, a yacht built for the America's Cup campaign in 2003. The hull and mast of the racing yacht will be processed and repurposed, a first-of-its-kind effort for what will likely be the largest carbon structure ever recycled.
