Crew experience


Recommended Posts

I realize they've recruited people specifically for their athletic ability, but this raised my eyebrow a little in the Herald's latest article on ETNZ... http://bit.ly/2q4PcWH

 

Sullivan, who up until last weekend had never been in a yacht race before, found the experience particularly valuable.

 

On the team website his role is listed as "Cyclist".

He is an Olympic gold medalist in rowing, so has been in boats before, quite tippy boats even, but I think no sailing. Being a Picton lad I'd imagine he likely went fishing at least occasionally..... Recruited for his fitness post rowing, similar to Rob Waddell. I guess it shows what a huge role fitness and strength play in racing at that level in those boats.
