So far, it appeared that the sponsorship of Accor is also already signed for AC38. If it's really true, it's a tremendous add for K-challenge.
As well, the budget gathered so far, is at a level that none french challenge knew since three decades.
There are too late to be really competitive for the AC37, but obviously for the AC38 it will be a whole other story.

Did a quick lookup at Accor. Yes, looks like a perfect sponsor, they are pretty cool.
Accor will make its first foray into the world of luxury cruising with the debut of the world’s largest sailing ship. More than 140 years after the original Orient Express luxury train first took to the rails, Europe's largest hospitality group will debut the Orient Express Silenseas.
Inspired by the legacy of the world’s most glamorous train journey and celebrating the art of travel, the ship will set sail in 2026.
QD has some shockingly good results in SailGP lately including at least once a 3 boat Finale. Am sure he's one hell of a helm.
I do not really follow sailgp, is there some match racing at some point ?
There is a fair amount of boat on boat racing at times for various reasons including in the starts and especially so in the 3 boat Finale if you make it into that. QD is really good, it's a tough competitiion in SGP.

I've not heard about AC38 BUT I do have read that Accor has committed funding the French AC Challenge & the French SailGP through the end of 2024.
"tough competition" I hope so, yet no match racing.
Reaching starts ?
Plain match racing, is well know to be a different sport, all the more at this level.

So I guess you didn't follow the last cup either? Certainly nothing resembling a match racing start and maybe some loose covering after that.
I at least hope they have a longer pre-start next time so we can see some engagements...
I remenber Cammas for the AC35. Years prior to the AC he worked hard on the match racing specificities and then he won matchracing french championship. Next he continued to train hard with Bertrand Pace to prepare himself to helm at the AC.
At the end of the campaign, he was still continuously schooled by the spare/training helmsman, Adam Minoprio.

You guessed extremely badly.
You should be excited, enjoy the ride.
Big day in the AC world, first splash in a while.

One other good thing about this is, at least none of fabulously talented French designers are involved with K- Challenge. No wait.....

Could be a lease deal on the cards, maybe?

Another 'super yacht' from the fabulously talented designer, Philippe Starck by the look.
