About this game

America's Cup Challenge is a racing and sports simulation based on the 24.3-mile America's Cup course off Perth. Players control 12-metre yachts, steering precisely while managing Genoa and spinnaker winching.

Before competing, players can review course maps and wind conditions, then choose sails suited to the race. The game offers seven preset nations or the option to enter a custom name.
