When some are worried about the Semifinals, others have yet the next America's Cup as new horizon.

Sébastien Col, Skipper, Areva Challenge : "We are quite a young can look to the future with ambition. We are already looking at the future and working already for the next campaign. We plan to sail with the boat to validate a few improvements now, at least until the end of June. Our first goal is sailing the boat, to improve and do things we didn’t have time to do as a basis for the next campaign."

Stéphane Kandler, CEO of Areva Challenge : "We cannot announce definitively (that we continue), but what is sure, is that Areva clearly stated that they want to continue with us. Initially, it will be necessary to analyze our campaign and to prepare a project that will be more competitive in the future. There will certainly be some news in the next few weeks."

Magnus Holmberg, Skipper, Victory Challenge: "Like the other teams we will debrief to capitalise on this investment and make sure it is secured for the team for the future. We want to make sure the project is packed up and ready to go at a later stage. It’s definitely the intention to continue but we don’t know at this stage, and plenty of work has to be done. I think we have pretty good hopes of looking forward to another challenge".

Jesper Bank, Skipper, United Internet Team Germany : "It has been very encouraging that the owner and main sponsor has the vision and courage to look ahead for another cup. That is very promising."

Pierre Mas, Skipper, China Team : "I am a little disappointed by the distance and the work we had to do to be more competitive and it’s what we will try to achieve next time. With our budget it has been a good thing since we have started many developments in China but for sure next time should be done in a different way, with a more powerful budget and the tools to be more competitive. The work starts today for that, a good positive sign that the team will continue for the 33rd America’s Cup".
