What the media had to say…
This quote reflects the sentiment
There’s something special about Shosholoza. An early sentimental favourite in Marseille and Valencia for the first three 2004 Louis
Vuitton Acts, the South African team launched by Captain Salvatore Sarno surprised the America’s Cup community. Cheered by both spectators and competitors, their refreshing approach and their
astounding spirit earned tremendous popular support.
