LONDON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - British sailor Ben Ainslie has finally secured the backing he needs for his 2027 America's Cup campaign, announcing a deal with Oakley Capital on Tuesday after what he admitted has been a stressful chapter in his mission to "bring the Cup home".
Ainslie's Athena Racing team said a majority ownership investment from the British private equity group would provide "long-term financial stability to compete not only in the next America's Cup but across multiple future cycles".
