The X47 carries the America’s Cup logo proudly on its hull

If you’re following the America’s Cup, you have probably seen the name Yanmar mentioned and pondered how the company is connected to extreme sail racing. They don’t make sails or foils, but they certainly do produce engines and hot looking powerboats. Apparently Yanmar sees the sail and power community (they power both) as one and the same, as do we at CYOB!
