At the breakfast, the Duchess who is a sailing enthusiast herself, also met with key investors, crew and boat designers and listened as Ben Ainslie outlined his plans to build his boat and create his headquarters in Portsmouth as well as his bid to win the America's Cup.

Sir Ben Ainslie is the most successful sailor in Olympic history with four gold medals and a silver at five consecutive Games between 1996 and 2012. He will skipper a crew aiming to win the historic trophy in the 35th America's Cup in 2017 - an achievement which would be a first for a British team.
