About the Sponsor

No stranger to sailing campaigns, having been involved on the IMOCA 60s circuit, World Match Racing Tour and supporting individuals from grassroots through to Olympians, Team GAC Pindar is taking its first steps into the world of Extreme 40s, backing a British entry for the 2010 circuit.

About the Skipper

Helming for Nick Moloney is British Tornado sailor Andrew Walsh. Joining them will be ex-Shirley Robertson and Mike Golding crewman and round the world sailor New Zealand Fraser Brown, a very experienced ‘Extreme 40er’ and Team GAC Pindar’s Olly Smith. This combination of talent and experienced is rather promising.
