"Long Beach Yacht Club is committed to making the start line at the first America’s Cup World Series Event in Cagliari, Italy, our membership is excited and we are all working hard to achieve our goal of bringing the America's Cup to Long Beach" said Camille Daniels, Commodore of Long Beach Yacht Cub.

"We appreciate the continued support of LBYC and its membership, and the assistance of Emirates Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, over the past few months as we have reorganized our team. We continue to make progress with corporate partners, and believe we will have what it takes to be competitive in Auckland" said Mike Buckley, Co-Founder and Skipper of Stars+Stripes USA.,

The two remaining Late Challengers were asked to confirm their participation after a third from Royal Malta Yacht Club was withdrawn after promised financial backing failed to materialise as promised.
