The YuuZoo Crew

‘Together we can face the weather that no one can face alone’

The Crew of the YuuZoo Supermaxi will be announced on Friday, 18th December. Watch this space.

The Maximum crew possible on our vessel is 28, but we will race with a lower number than that to keep the weight down. Crew are being chosen on basis of sailing ability, technical ability, personality and a positive attitude and understanding towards ‘Teamwork’.

‘I call this ‘The human puzzle’; says Skipper Ludde Ingvall. The last thing we want are brilliant yachtsmen, who end up chasing each other with knives across the deck when the going gets tough. I have been there, and it was not fun then, although rather funny today.
