Marazzi Sailing trains in Valencia

The quiz we posted earlier today was apparently quite easy. Two of our readers almost instantaneously had the correct answer. The team is the newly-founded Marazzi Sailing and the boat is the 2008 Artemis TP52.

Marazzi Sailing is led by Swiss Star champion Flavio Marazzi and German Olympic and America's Cup champion Jochen Schuemann and flies the colors of the Gstaad Yacht Club. They have been training for a week in Valencia with a crew that comes mainly from the former Platoon and Team Germany with the addition of sailors from other teams, such as John Cutler, former tactician on Desafío.

The team was formally presented on Wednesday in Zurich and an official press release will provide all the details of this brand new TP52 team. In the meantime, we publish a selection of photos from their training in Valencia.

Great looking boats. Would be interesting to have the AC contested in boats like this. Would help with cutting costs.
