| Anonymous NZ entry into Global Ocean Race 2011-2012 |
|
The twelfth entry to the Global Ocean Race 2011-2012 is a Kiwi skipper. He wishes to remain anonymous until his campaign is fully formulated. The young and rising pro-sailor - a university graduate with crucial, shorthanded offshore racing experience – intends to announce further details shortly.
This latest entry reserves a second slot for New Zealand on the start line in October 2011 following the entry last autumn of Lapo Ancillotti and BT Boat’s Class40 – the Kiwi 40FC - from Farr Yacht Design/Cookson Boats and brings the Global Ocean Race fleet to 60 percent of capacity.
'New Zealand is showing a very strong presence in the Global Ocean Race,' comments Josh Hall, the event’s Race Director. 'This highly talented and motivated professional sailor will undoubtedly be looking to win. The level of competition in the race is going to be intense and fascinating to watch,' he adds.
