Nathan Quirk

Department: The Boatyard

What he does: Nathan worked with North Sails and the teams for the past two years on the sail programme. He now manages the Boatyard sail loft, ensuring all sails are race ready and rule compliant for each leg.

Who he is: Born in Sydney, now lives in Andorra. Studied finance but moved to New Zealand after finishing university to join the America's Cup and decided to stick with yachting. A sailor and windsurfer, he has worked with sails for 20 years.

He speaks: English and some Spanish.

Something about him that you don't know: Still interested in financial markets and trading... He can probably quote the price of most traded commodities (oil, gold, corn, sugar, cotton) without checking his computer!
