Team Shosholoza will be given a major injection of America’s Cup sailing and technical expertise following the arrival last week of a top German international yachtsman who has joined the team in a professional capacity.

Tim Kruger, who crewed on the French Le Defi Areva Challenge in the 2001-2003 America’s Cup in Auckland and again in the opening Acts of the America’s Cup in Europe last year has a star studded CV developed over 25 years of international competitive sailing.

Kruger’s appointment forms part of the R100-million sponsorship investment in Team Shosholoza announced last month by T-Systems, an IT multi-national which is the business customer brand of Deutsche Telekom.
