The Legacy of Team Origin

Team Origin has been a prominent name in the sailing world, with a rich history and numerous achievements.

Here at Desperate Sailors, we honor this legacy and are committed to carrying forward the spirit of Team Origin. Let’s find out more about the history of Team Origin and its contributions to the sailing community.

Team Origin

Team Origin was Great Britain’s bid to compete in the 33rd and 34th America’s Cups.

It was established in January 2007 (founded by Sir Keith Mills) with the aim of promoting the sport of sailing and nurturing talent in the field.

Team Origin

Over the years, it grew into a renowned platform, hosting a series of successful sailing events, developing innovative training programs, and becoming a vital part of the international sailing community.

With an impressive record in numerous sailing championships, Team Origin demonstrated the power of teamwork, resilience, and strategic thinking on the open water.


The America’s Cup

The America’s Cup, the pinnacle of yachting and the oldest competition in international sport, saw Team Origin actively involved.

Founded by Sir Keith Mills and racing under the burgee of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, Team Origin made a mark in the preparation races.

Despite scaling back activities in 2007 in anticipation of legal challenges delaying the 33rd Cup, Team Origin still performed admirably in the events leading to the Cup.

However, in 2010, due to changes in the Cup’s boat specifications, the team had to drop their campaign for the 2013 America’s Cup.


Team Origin Events

  1. Louis Vuitton Pacific Series (2009): An invitational yacht match racing regatta, Team Origin took part in this event, demonstrating their commitment to the sport.
  2. Louis Vuitton Trophy (2009-2010): Team Origin participated in this event, which was a series of match racing regattas in America’s Cup Class yachts.
  3. The 1851 Cup (2010): Team Origin hosted the event and competed with BMW Oracle, winning the Trafalgar Cup for the match racing series.
  4. World Match Racing Tour (2010): Despite only entering six of the nine events, Team Origin managed to win the tour in Sweden, Bermuda, and the Monsoon Cup in Malaysia, securing their place as the ISAF Match Racing World Champions 2010.
