News | Lloyd joins race team

New Zealander Jack Lloyd, a well known figure in international yacht racing, has joined the Volvo Ocean Race as its new Race Director.

Lloyd, 54, was Chairman of the International Jury for the 2005-06 race after serving as member of the jury for two previous races.

Lloyd takes over from Andy Hindley, and completes the race management line-up for the 2008-09 race following last month’s appointment of Norwegian Knut Frostad as CEO after the departure of Glenn Bourke, who returned to Australia.
