Desafío Español announced yesterday the arrival of two new trimmers, Nacho Braqurais and Antonio Piris, both Spanish.

Nacho Braquerais, 38 and one of the very few sailors from Valencia, has three America's Cups under his belt (1995, 2000 and 2007) and in the previous edition he was the mainsail trimmer of the B-boat on Luna Rossa. He is also the mainsail trimmer on the TP52 boat Caixa Galicia since the inception of the Breitling Medcup in 2005.

Antonio Piris, 43, was also aboard a Spanish America's Cup challenger three times (1992, 1995 and 2000), has won the Copa del Rey 6 times in the IMS class and is a teammate of Braquerais aboard the TP52 Caixa Galicia.
