by SailRaceWin

In an article by Voiles et Voiliers, published on 7th October 2010, it is reported that French naval architect Guillaume Verdier and his collaborators, Hervé Penformis, Romaric Neyhousser and Benjamin Muyl, have joined the Emirates Team New Zealand design team for the 34th America's Cup.

Benjamin Muyl was involved with the development of USA-17 for BMW ORACLE Racing for the 33rd America's Cup, while Verdier, Penformis and Muyl were all part of the design team for the French Areva challenge for the 32nd America's Cup.

Verdier and his colleagues had previously been approached by TEAMORIGIN, before they pulled out of the 34th America's Cup, and also by the French team Aleph.
