New skipper Victor Diaz De Leon leads young Americans looking to become 2024’s 52 SUPER SERIES
True to an initiative launched last year by team owner and 52 SUPER SERIES champion Doug De Vos that aims to provide younger sailors with experience and learning at the highest level of grand prix racing, Quantum Racing powered by American Magic will have four new younger athletes on the crew for the 2024 season, led by newly appointed skipper Victor Diaz De Leon.
The selected new athletes have already been put through their paces during a tuning and training week on the Bay of Palma last month when the Quantum Racing powered by American Magic team worked alongside Tony Langley’s new Gladiator – also Quantum powered – which was previously Alegre.
After sailing as both strategist and as tactician last year when the team finished in third overall for the season despite afterguard line-up changes at every single regatta, Victor Diaz de Leon is delighted to have been appointed as skipper as well as tactician.
