Between them they come with extensive experience in foiling high tech boats; as well as world-class high performance sailing campaigns across 49er, Nacra, and Finn Olympic classes and round the world editions. “For now the majority of the team is head down focused on the defence of the America s Cup with Emirates Team New Zealand in March but it’s a great milestone to announce such a strong line up of sailors to join us in our first SailGP season,” Burling said. The team also includes the successful candidates from the team s female development programme - Liv Mackay (Napier) and Erica Dawson (Auckland).
