After successfully clinching their place in the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup Finals yesterday, TeamBDA will this evening celebrate by making an appearance at The Bermuda Shop on Front Street during Harbour Nights.

The team had a strong showing on Monday and Tuesday in the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup Qualifiers and advanced to the final along with Land Rover BAR Academy, Spanish Impulse by IBEROSTAR and NZL Sailing team.

To celebrate the team’s accomplishment, The Bermuda Shop will host a ‘meet the team’ event from 7pm to 8pm for the people of Bermuda. There will be posters available for signing, and TeamBDA merchandise on sale, including the team’s training shirt, t-shirts and backpacks. Every purchase will receive a limited edition TeamBDA bumper sticker.

Mackenzie Cooper, TeamBDA Skipper, says: “It was an amazing experience to see Bermudians supporting us on the water and in the America’s Cup Village during the two-day regatta.

“It meant the world to us to have the Island behind us as we competed against some of the best youth sailors in the world. We are excited to meet all our amazing supporters and we encourage everyone to come out to The Bermuda Shop tonight to celebrate with us.”

The team will only be in The Bermuda Shop from 7pm to 8pm and there is a limited number of posters. Bermudians are encouraged to come early to avoid disappointment.
