RNLI supporter and competitive sailor Sir Ben Ainslie (left) takes to the water at Portsmouth this month with his British Challenger, Land Rover BAR, as part of his mission to win the 2017 America’s Cup with his Great Britain crew. And anyone going along to the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series event on 22–24 July can expect a strong RNLI presence. On the water, Bembridge lifeboat crew are planning a demonstration aboard their all-weather lifeboat, while the Race Village in Portsmouth will host RNLI stands.
