Austin Regier, 1997 - 2024 In Loving Memory of Austin Regier We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of the passing of Austin Regier, a beloved member of the NYYC American Magic team, following a free-diving accident in the Philippines. Austin joined American Magic as a cyclor, where his extraordinary blend of engineering expertise, athletic talent, and unrelenting determination made him an invaluable member of the team. A graduate of the University of Washington, Austin was a national champion rower, a dedicated teammate, and a source of inspiration for everyone he encountered. His journey to the America’s Cup showcased not only his athletic ability but also his commitment to the highest levels of performance. Austin played a pivotal role in our 37th America's Cup campaign in Barcelona, giving his all to help our team achieve its goals. But beyond his professional achievements, Austin will be remembered for his kindness, humility, and the friendships he built along the way. Our thoughts and prayers are with Austin’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. His legacy as a sailor, teammate, and friend will forever remain a part of American Magic’s story. Rest in peace, Austin. You will always be part of the American Magic family.
