Of his new role Gulari says, “The opportunity to be part of the best grand prix team around is awesome. I’m honored and excited to get on the boat. I can’t wait to get on with it!” When asked about his small boat sailing, Gulari says that will continue as well. “I have some unfinished work in the Olympic catamaran, and the Moth sailing keeps the skills sharp.”
“This choice may surprise people due to Bora’s reputation in multihulls and foiling,” says Quantum Racing manager Ed Reynolds, “but when you look at what’s he’s done on the 52s, you realize Bora is one of the most versatile and top performing sailors out there. We’re very confident he’ll be able to fit in this role, but everyone knows you don’t replace a guy like Ed Baird.”
Reynolds says the search for a new helmsman/strategist was launched when Ed Baird decided to accept a bid to work with Tony Langley’s Gladiator for 2017. “We’re pleased to welcome Tony as a new client, he’s been a stalwart of the 52 class. Through his new role, Ed will take the lead in transferring the Quantum methodology to Gladiator.”
As for the move, Baird says he is pleased to maintain ties with the Quantum Racing program while helping Quantum Sails deliver a high level of customer support and service to a new client. “This is a very exciting opportunity and I look forward to helping bring the Quantum Racing style of learning process to the Gladiator program.”
Quantum Racing is owned by Doug Devos. The team is three-time winner of the 52 Super Series and five-time TP52 World Champion.
