TEAMORIGIN is the British America’s Cup sailing team set up in January 2007 by Sir Keith Mills, Team Principal of TEAMORIGIN. The team’s mission is to win the America’s Cup and inspire positive action around climate change.

Headed up by Sir Keith, other key team members include Mike Sanderson, Team Director, winner of 2005/06 Volvo Ocean Race and ISAF Sailor of the Year 2006; Ben Ainslie, Skipper and Helmsman, three times Olympic gold medallist and one time silver medallist; Iain Percy, Tactician and double Olympic gold medallist.

Race for Change is an inspiring strategic collaboration between sport and the environment. TEAMORIGIN plan to use the Race for Change platform and programme to raise awareness and inspire their audiences around the urgent need for action on environmental matters.

TEAMORIGIN has worked in partnership with Henri Lloyd since 2007 and they both use the platform to test and develop new clothing concepts as well as showcasing the products in a variety of testing conditions.

During 2010 the team will compete in the Louis Vuitton Trophy regattas, the AudiMed Cup TP52 series, TP52 World Championships and the World Match Racing circuit.
