New York Yacht Club American Magic, U.S. Challenger for the 37th America’s Cup, has named Pro-Set Epoxy (Bay City, Mich., U.S.), as an official supplier for their campaign. This collaboration highlights the critical role of cutting-edge materials and technology in the world of competitive sailing, particularly in elite events like the America’s Cup.
