This race requires physical and mental strength, there were over 250 applications to join Team SCA and only 15 were chosen to compete, and they compete on an equal level to their male competitors, they race the same boats, over the same oceans 24/7 for weeks at a time. Our crew are aged between 28 – 42, and come from six nations; USA, UK, Switzerland, Australia, Sweden and the Netherlands. – See more at: http://www.teamsca.com/crew#sthash.3IFrt382.dpuf
