Waka Racing: Set to climb the mountain

by Waka Racing Media | 30/08/2011

Boats out training today.

Stunning, is probably going to be the most used word this week. It describes St Moritz, Switzerland to a tee. We are 1775 meters above sea level in the Swiss Alps and the backdrop is breath-taking. As you could imagine, having towering alps surrounding a very small lake, the breeze is chaotic.

We are blessed enough to enjoy a bit of Swiss class by staying in the 5 star Badrutt's Palace. We are sailing little 26ft four man boats this week with a new member to the team. Adam Martin (from Perth, Australia) is joining us on the bow. He is no stranger to the team as he has sailed with us a bit in 09/10.
