Only three weeks before the beginning of Louis Vuitton Act 13 in Valencia, America's Cup winner David Dellenbaugh has been appointed to the position of tactician in the United Internet Team Germany.
Former tactician Henrik Blakskjær will now strengthen the team as a pitman.
'The position of a tactician is crucial on board. With David Dellenbaugh we appoint the most experienced tactician in our team', says Head of Syndicate Michael Scheeren. Until now the American Dellenbaugh has been available to the team part-time only. However, the 53 years old Dellenbaugh moved his domicile to Spain in February 2007 and is now able to support the team until the end of the America's Cup. 'I am very happy to see David in this position. His experience will help to make our team even stronger in the upcoming races', says skipper Jesper Bank.
David Dellenbaugh already participated in several America’s Cup campaigns successfully: For the first time he was the tactician in the US team Heart of America in the America’s Cup in 1987. He won the desired trophy as a tactician and starting helmsman in 1992 on the winning yacht America3. Three years later Dellenbaugh again participated as a tactician in the US team Mighty Mary.
