Shosholoza keen to have another go at America's Cup

Having ended the Louis Vuitton cup in a stunning and unexpected seventh place, Team Shosholoza have made South Africans proud in their first attempt at the America's Cup.

With a relatively small budget, Shosholoza managed to beat some of the big teams and quickly moved up the ranks to end in seventh place.

They're already looking forward to the next Americas Cup in 2009. Hopefully next time around, they'll tackle the challenge on a budget that allows them to be even more competitive.

This month's Sailing magazine has a full race report over several pages.
