Dublin Bay Artist Pete Hogan s America s Cup Sketchbook
8th March 2021
‘Media’ - This AC, more than ever, is a virtual event. The on board cameras, the instant editing, the choppers, the chase boats the expert commentary and the crews comms, beamed straight to my computer…… for free……Heaven.
Locked down in Dublin and glued to the America’s Cup coming from Auckland, artist, Pete Hogan has been watching a lot of the preliminary action on his computer. Inevitably, such a sailfest inspired the round the world sailor to paint what he saw in his usual wonderful style (below) and to provide some useful commentary on the eve of the Cup in New Zealand.
The savagely beautiful AC75 monohull foils of Team New Zealand’s Te Rehutai and Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli will contest the oldest trophy in competitive sport on the waters of the Hauraki Gulf next week.
