Genesis
Founded by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), Rune Jacobsen, Max Dubreuil, and CMCC Global, Liberty Bitcoin Cup was created following the cancellation of the Youth America’s Cup in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. Through the Liberty Bitcoin Cup, we aspired to make selected leading-edge foiling classes accessible and affordable for youth teams around the world, and to host truly pinnacle events at the lowest cost possible for participants.
RHKYC Team Agiplast from Hong Kong, Young Azzurra from Italy, Team DutchSail and Team Kingdom from the Netherlands, One Switzerland from Switzerland, Southern Challenge from the USA, Youth Bravo España from Spain, and Xele Racing from Norway were among the competing teams from Liberty Bitcoin Cup 2021.
CMCC Voyage, Liberty Bitcoin Cup and RHKYC are Clean Seas advocates, taking a stand against plastic pollution of our oceans.
