Outstanding on their Audi MedCup Circuit debut in 2009, they won four of last season’s five regattas, only failing to win the first of the season in Alicante, on their way to securing the overall title. They set the bar high with a very strong crew unit who have sailed many different programmes together including America’s Cup and Louis Vuitton Cup campaigns.  For 2010 they stick with the winning formula, making only small, routine changes to the Botin Carkeek designed boat.

Significant crew change this season is Jules Salter (GBR) as navigator, although he is well experienced having done a season with Mean Machine, and racing with Emirates Team New Zealand in the Louis Vuitton series.
