Team Shosholoza is a yacht racing team representing Royal Cape Yacht Club of Cape Town, South Africa competing in the 2007 America's Cup.

The name Shosholoza refers to a popular South African song and is used in an attempt to encompass the African spirit of the team.

History

The team's history goes back to when Ian Ainslie taught sailing skills to underprivileged youngsters in the navy village of Simon's Town and Captain Salvatore Sarno asked them to crew his Durban yacht. As the team improved the Captain began to talk about the America's Cup.

Soon he had bought RSA 48 and the team was practicing out of the Waterfront in Cape Town. [ [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,901060508-1189186,00.html Time Magazine: A New Kind Of Race] ]

Boats

Shosholoza currently owns two IACC Yachts. RSA 48 was bought for training purposes. The team was the first syndicate to build a boat, christened RSA 83, for the 2007 America's Cup.
