Team Origin

The news of the team sailing in La Maddalena comes after the announcement by TEAM ORIGIN in an official statement that Mike Sanderson has left the team following the decision by Sir Keith Mills, Team Principal, to restructure the organisation.

“This decision has been taken to ensure that the team functions as effectively and efficiently as possible, in order to improve the team’s performance and ultimately win the America’s Cup. Mike has been with the team since it was formed in 2007. He has made a huge contribution to establishing what has been a relatively new team and has worked hard to keep the team together over the last three years while the America’s Cup was in the courts. Sir Keith and the team wish Mike every success in the future.”
