American Dawn Riley and skipper Thierry Peponnet have put together a strong challenge that will try and take the America's Cup to France.
They have acquired the boats and sailing knowledge used by Team New Zealand in the successful 2000 defence and should provide strong competition during the Louis Vuitton challenger series.
The team was actually put together before the 31st America's Cup but will have their first crack at winning the Auld Mug in 2007.
