Smith quits ACC team

Californian professional sailor Dee Smith will leave the South African America’s Cup team – Team Shosholoza – on 1 October 2006.

Smith sailed with the team in 2005 and officially joined Team Shosholoza in February this year as general manager and tactician. Instead of extending Smith’s existing contract, Team Shosholoza and Smith have agreed to continue the American’s support of South Africa’s first America’s Cup Challenger as a consultant.
