Team Germany is the first German challenge to sail for the America's Cup in its 154-year history.
They will be led by skipper Jesper Bank of Denmark. He is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and previous America's Cup skipper in 2002/2003 with the Swedish team Victory Challenge.
While they are a late inclusion into the 2007 event, they should improve very quickly, particularly with the knowledge that Bank can call upon.
A team for the future.
