"To win the America's
Cup first win the Louis Vuitton Cup" became the rallying
cry when challenging syndicates won the America's
Cup in 1983 (the first year of the Louis Vuitton Cup).
Continuing this involvement, Louis Vuitton, a division
of LVMH Group, wants to return for the seventh time
as co-producers of the Challenger Selection Series.
And Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, gives full authority
to Yves Carcelle and Bruno Troublé to convince AC
Management.
But unfortunately things are not so simple and rumors
coming from Geneva that Rolex could be the next Challenger
Selection Series partner.
