Quadruple Olympic medallist, Sir Ben Ainslie, can claim a spot as one of Britain's most successful sailor alongside Lord Nelson and Sir Walter Raleigh. And now the sailing star has set his sights on winning the America's Cup, the world's oldest sporting trophy. This week Sir Ben and his Landrover B.A.R team unveiled the boat, a 50ft catamaran codenamed R1, which they hope will help them bring the trophy back to Britain. "It's the one thing that Britain's never won," he said. "That's a huge motivator for myself and the rest of the team." "That's what motivates them, trying to win this thing for Queen and country," he added. "We're not out there just trying to win it for a wealthy individual who wants the America's Cup on their mantelpiece, this is for Britain and it makes a difference."
