There are eight people onboard Britannia, four on each side of the boat.
- HELMSMEN: Joining team skipper Ben Ainslie as co-helm is America's Cup debutant Dylan Fletcher, the Tokyo Olympic champion in the 49er class.
- TRIMMERS: Leigh McMillan and Bleddyn Mon control the ride height of the boat out of the water and the trim of the mainsail and jib (the sail at the front of the boat).
- CYCLORS: The four 'cycling sailors' provide the hydraulic power needed to work the masts and sails by pedalling static bikes fixed in the hulls. The British squad of nine, who have been training with the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team to build their endurance, includes four cyclors with Olympic rowing backgrounds.
