Platoon

Platoon has established itself as one of the most consistent teams in the 52 SUPER SERIES, thanks in large part to its remarkably stable crew. This line-up of seasoned sailing talent includes strategist Jordi Calafat, navigator Jules Salter and tactician Vasco Vascotto, who joined in mid-2022, bringing his extensive tactical expertise to the team. The trim team is equally formidable with America's Cup winners Ross Halcrow and Dirk De Ridder. Halcrow, known as 'Rosco', has a long history of success with Müller-Spreer and many of his teammates, including wins in the Volvo Ocean Race. De Ridder, known as "Cheese", takes on the crucial role of mainsheet trimmer.

This stunning beauty by Botin Partners, built by King Marine and crafted from the same mould as Alegre, is owned by Harm Müller-Spreer, a German businessman whose lifelong experience and passion for sailing has propelled both him and his boat to the top. An active competitor in the 52 SUPER SERIES since 2015, Müller-Spreer and his team have consistently delivered exceptional performances, securing multiple podium finishes. They capped off a stellar 2023 season by claiming victory, adding to his previous Rolex TP52 World Championship titles in 2017, 2019 and 2023. As one of the premier owner-drivers in the fleet, Müller-Spreer is widely regarded as one of the best helmsmen in the competition.
