This team has been put together for the second challenge by Switzerland, which is a country that is completely inland, with no coastline at all. Russell Coutts and Brad Butterworth, who led Team New Zealand to a win last time, will be making the sailing decisions on this boat. The team also has ex-Team New Zealand members Murray Jones, Warwick Fleury, and Simon Daubney. It has gone through to the last round of the Louis Vuitton series, and is considered to be the most likely boat to win, and become the challenger for the America's Cup.
