INTASURE (Pty) Ltd will be sponsoring for the third year in succession the fast-emerging TEAM INTASURE L 26 crew representing the False Bay Yacht Club (FBYC) of Simonstown, Cape. Under the joint-helmsmanship of Andrea Giovannini and Markus Progli, TEAM INTASURE is singly focused on bringing the much cherished Lipton Cup back to the waters of False Bay. The L 26 challenge yacht itself is owned by Chris Lee, Commodore of FBYC. TEAM INTASURE finished the 2010 Lipton Challenge Cup sailed on Table Bay in second position. The previous year the same yacht under the command of the same co-skippers finished the Lipton Challenge Cup in third position.

TEAM INTASURE is rich in talent - for over-and-above the highly competent co-skippers and their already successful sailing careers both locally and internationally the rest of the crew comprise a blend of winner, time-proven “hands” and sailing next-generation experts - and youthful fast-emerging competitive sailing long-term participants. Each team member has a sailing CV of which to be proud.

The complete crew includes: Andrea Giovannini & Markus Progli as co-Skippers. Crew Leader is Ian Mac Robert with Olympic sailor Penny Alison as Sail Trimmer. Nick Baigrie and Ollie Vande Pitte will handle Mast and Bow positions respectively. Support members on the shore Management side include Director, Lee Balding representing the sponsors, INTASURE. Team “TEAM INTASURE” Manager is Erik Bjerring.

Numerous people knowledgeable about the sport of competitive sailing believe that this team is “up for the test” and ready-and-able to wrest the Lipton Cup away from the current holders, Knysna Yacht Club. The waters of Mossel Bay will provide a neutral and at the same time, world-class testing ground for the Lipton Challenge Cup 2011.
