49er Sailors take Environmental Action & Nacra17 Teams Reach High Speeds in Auckland

49er Sailors Amongst Leaders in Environmental Action

Yago & Klaus Lange (ARG) have been actively pushing for environmental change in the 49er fleet
Yago Lange has been one of the most environmentally active and influential sailors amongst the Olympic sailing world in the past year.
