In 2005-2007 I became a part of Mascalzone Latino Capitalia as a challenger for the 32nd America's Cup.  

Moving to Valencia for two years and living as a professional sailor has been one of the most memorial experiences in my life. I enjoyed being a part of the team and the daily routines as physical exercise, design & development processes and the many hours training on the water. Looking back it was a fantastic time, but I'm sure I have already forgot the long working hours, disappointments and failures that goes with such a long campaign.

I joined Mascalzone Latino as a part of the afterguard and as an expert in the matchracing. Myself and Jes Gram-Hansen was giving a huge opportunity to execute the prestart of the race and handed over the tactics and helming to the Italian Vasco Vascotto and Flavio Favini. First time on the AC yacht I thought it was impossible to race the heavy and long yachts but after some time it was exactly same game as sailing the smaller boats on the World Matchracing Tour.

I am keen to be a part of a professional America's Cup team again and are just waiting for the right opportunity after the last few years of disappointing disputes in the legal rights in the America's Cup.
