Spirit Of Norway

Spirit of Norway 20 is an initiative of Bjorn Rune Gjelsten in partnership with Barry-Cotter. The team is run under the Spirit Of Norway banner but is managed seperatly with a seprate crew. "This is something I have been planning for some time," said Gjelsten. "I wanted to invest in the future of Class 1 and to recruit some young pilots. I had thought of an all-Norwegian line-up but talked to Bill and found the perfect situation to bring Tom into the team with Pal. We have two young and talented racers but do not expect overnight success from them. They have to learn to race and work with each other, hopefully listen to some pointers from Steve and myself but we do expect they will be competitive." The team are running a Michael Peters designed Tencara hull which was the former championship winning boat of Gjelsten and Curtis
