Youth Movement for Quantum Racing || Scuttlebutt Sailing News
The most successful TP52 team in the history of the 52 SUPER SERIES has a new look for the 2024 season as Victor Diaz De Leon has been appointed Quantum Racing skipper to lead a youth movement for the 5-event schedule.
Continuing the initiative launched last year by team owner Doug De Vos to provide younger sailors with experience and learning at the highest level of grand prix racing, four new athletes will also join Diaz de Leon.
Among the new talent will be the circuit’s first female navigator, Evelyn Hull. The other new team members getting ready for the season to start are Nevin Snow who will be strategist, Ian Liberty trimmer and Alex Sinclair mid bow.
The selected new athletes have already been put through their paces during a tuning and training week on the Bay of Palma last month when the team worked alongside Tony Langley’s new Gladiator, which was previously Alegre.
