With the AC37 America's Cup Joint Recon Teams being ushered into a premature retirement, the event effectively enters the dark side of the moon, for what should be the most interesting couple of months of build up for the regatta.

Here's another look at the Joint Recon Team in action and with their comments on what they have seen for the past year.

If you have a video or images of the Cup build up that you'd like to share, please email
