Pindar by Manuport Logistics: role and operational scope
Pindar by Manuport Logistics has been contracted by Riptide Racing to manage the campaign’s marine freight, customs clearance, and shore-side logistics. The company’s recent track record includes support across multiple America’s Cup cycles, The Ocean Race editions, and series such as the Extreme Sailing Series and GC32 Racing Tour—experience directly applicable to moving fragile foiling components and handling time-sensitive regatta schedules.
Core logistics responsibilities
- International freight forwarding for hulls, rigs and spare parts
- Customs brokerage and temporary import/export regimes for sporting equipment
- Coordination of on-site handling and storage at Naples and preliminary venues
- Confidential transport and secure chain-of-custody procedures
Operational challenges to anticipate
Transporting AC75 foiling monohulls—75-foot platforms designed to reach speeds near 60 mph—introduces unusual handling needs: oversized cargo permits, shock-mitigation cradles, and priority port berthing. Teams must also budget for contingency airlift or expedited sea services for critical parts during the campaign season.
Funding, team plans and the route to entry
Riptide Racing, led by world No. 1 match racing skipper Chris Poole, has set an overall campaign target of N50 ሚሊዮን while prioritizing roughly $30 million to meet the late entry requirements. The syndicate’s collaboration with Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club frames both the sporting pedigree and the administrative affiliation necessary under the event Protocol.
What success looks like
- Securing corporate and private sponsorship to reach the entry threshold
- Completing logistics contracts and rehearsal regattas in 2026
- Maintaining operational secrecy and competitive confidentiality during transport
Implications for Naples tourism and event experiences
Hosting the America’s Cup in Naples in 2027 is poised to drive a surge in sailing-related tourism: spectators, team hospitality programs, and ancillary services such as charter yachts and coastal excursions. For travellers, the presence of AC75 foiling races and the preliminary AC40 events will expand options for yacht parties, àwọn ìbẹ̀wò musiọ́mù pẹ̀lú àwọn olùtọ́nisọ́nà ààyè, and bespoke shore experiences tied to the regatta calendar.
