Duchess of Cambridge Opens Land Rover BAR Headquarters’ Tech Deck


Looking as lovely as ever in her Alexander McQueen ensemble, Kate Middleton graced the Land Rover BAR America’s Cup headquarters and opened the new sailing education centre in Portsmouth. She opened the “Tech Deck,” where people can view the building of the America’s Cup boats up close.

The 1851 Trust, in which the Duchess serves as royal patron, provides training for young people who want to know more about the marine industry.

The Duchess was accompanied by Olympic Gold Medalist Sir Ben Ainslie. He won the 34th America’s Cup back when he was part of Oracle Team USA. The Land Rover BAR is his own sailing team, launched in 2014 with the Duchess as part of his efforts to win the cup for Britain.

After speaking to students from Brune Park Community School in Gosport, Hants, the Duchess joined Sir Ainslie on board the AC45 Catamaran, where she took part in a training circuit of the Solent.
