The America’s Cup Hall of Fame to Induct Josh Belsky, Bob Fisher, Kevin Shoebridge, and Juan Vila

The Herreshoff Marine Museum / America’s Cup Hall of Fame welcomes Josh Belsky, Bob Fisher, Kevin Shoebridge and Juan Vila as Class of 2024 inductees of the America’s Cup Hall of Fame. In addition, the Sir Richard Francis Sutton Medal will be awarded to Cino Ricci and Louis Vuitton. All will be honored on 14 October 2024 at the America’s Cup Hall of Fame Induction Gala at the Maritime Museum of Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain.

“This year’s class reflects the America’s Cup’s intent to foster ‘friendly competition between foreign countries’. We’re honoring four individuals—from four different nations—united by their genuine affection for each other and for yachting’s greatest prize”, said America’s Cup Hall of Fame Selection Committee Chair Steven Tsuchiya. “We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of this very deserving group.”

The America’s Cup Hall of Fame has inducted over a hundred individuals since its founding in 1992. Candidates eligible for consideration include members of the crew, designers, builders, syndicate leaders, supporters, chroniclers, and other individuals of merit. Each nominee is judged on the basis of outstanding ability, international recognition, character, performance, and contributions to the sport. The members of the Selection Committee are intimate with the history and traditions of America's Cup and are committed to maintaining the integrity of the Hall of Fame.

"What a great group!", said America’s Cup Hall of Fame President & Executive Director Bill Lynn. “We have a journalist, a pit man, a navigator and a genoa trimmer who are all among the best in the world at what they do (or did!), and their home countries have all played a pivotal role in the history of the Cup. I want to thank the Selection Committee for their hard work and for giving us four excellent new members of the Hall of Fame. The only tough part is that Bob Fisher won't be there for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration in Barcelona.”
