Team Shosholoza is a yacht racing team representing Royal Cape Yacht Club of Cape Town, South Africa, competing in the 2007 America's Cup. The name Shosholoza refers to a popular South African song and is used in an attempt to encompass the African spirit of the team. ==History== The team's history goes back to when Ian Ainslie taught sailing skills to underprivileged youngsters in the navy village of Simon's Town and Captain Salvatore Sarno asked them to crew his Durban yacht. As the team improved the Captain began to talk about the America's Cup. Soon he had bought RSA 48 and the team was practicing out of the Waterfront in Cape Town.〔(Time Magazine: A New Kind Of Race )〕 In 2009, they competed in the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series, where they defeated defending champions Alinghi on the last day of the regatta's first round robin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Team Shosholoza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
