There may be no British team in the America’s Cup World Series, but there are 10 British sailors taking part, spread out among multinational teams.

Here they are: Top row left to right: Ed Wright (Green Comm); Mark Bulkele (Team Korea); Chris Brittle (Team Korea); Will Howden (China Team); Iain Percy (Artemis Racing).

Bottom row left to right: Matt Cornwell (Team Korea); Chris Draper (Team Korea); Pete Cumming (Green Comm); Simon Hiscocks (Green Comm); Peter Greenhalgh (Energy Team).

One of the newer crews is China Team. Their ambition is to train up and bring on some newbie Chinese sailors. The current crew includes a basketball player, who was quoted earlier this week saying that sailing was a lot more different than he had expected!

So, previous multihull experience is not a pre-requisite, and on that note: anything missing from the representation of this line up, do you think? 😉
