Changes: Over this last winter the Team’s management has put much thought and time into the best way to further develop the Team and some hard decisions have had to be made and no doubt will continue to have to be!
Previously the Team has been run primarily on a corporate basis and whilst giving of our best having to put the racing second to the corporate aspect of invitation navigators. So for the first time and with the unanimous agreement of this season’s sponsors we are going all out to win the Championship. This therefore means the selection of one navigator for the entire season in order to achieve consistency and avoid the starting handicap we have always had to race with. After all winning will maximise any publicity and offer the best viewing and involvement for all our sponsors and their guests.  

Firstly therefore after testing with several different navigators of varying experience the decision has been made to run with Darren Mace, a civil engineer with Gallagher Estates in his day job but has run with us achieving third place at Torquay last season.
Darren’s commitment to the team will see him available for all races and most importantly living only 30 minutes from the Team’s base the availability to help prepare and practice will be vital.

Secondly Siobhan’s role as Team Manager will see a significant change. This season will see her take on more responsibilities with the actual racing and less on the hospitality side. Her primary function will be to co-ordinate all the racing aspects of the Team and will therefore dedicate all her time at race venues to the boat and her crew. Siobhan will also attend all race briefing as this year F4SA have asked for full representation at such from all Team Managers.
