Artemis Racing skipper Iain Percy has his sights set on a strong performance on home waters at the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series Gothenburg.

"It's an incredibly proud moment for Artemis Racing and all of Sweden to be hosting the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series," Percy said. But after a disappointing result at the inaugural event in Portsmouth last month, he is looking for his team to improve this time out.

"We need to have slicker boat-handling. We need to make smarter decisions... Make no mistake, we're out to beat each other."

Racing starts in Gothenburg with the practice race on August 28, ahead of two days of Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series racing August 29-30.
