The people behind Color 7, which dominated 18ft skiff racing, winning six consecutive world championships, are committing themselves to a new team: Gotta Love It 7.
The team brings together the Seven Network, Murray, and three up-and-coming sailors, Seve Jarvin, Rob Bell, and Sam Newton.
The team has been working over several months, planning its foray into the Australian championships and next February’s world championships.
“We can’t wait to see that big red Seven back on Sydney Harbour,” Seven’s chief executive officer, broadcast television, David Leckie said.
“We are pleased to be back in the game and delighted to have formed a new partnership with Iain Murray. We and Iain are going into this for the right reasons, electing to create a team from scratch and picking three young guys that represent a key part of the future of sailing in Australia.”
