Red Fury

Rising Star Sailors from Korea

A desire for a big challenge with small forces

Although Korea is a peninsula, sailing is not very popular, so there are not many sailors despite the large population.

Nevertheless, the Sailors continue to dream, aim, and strive to become Olympian.

Although most of the team has no experience in Keelboat racing, we are ready to compete at the SSL GOLD CUP with enthusiasm because we are ready to accept and learn about new opportunities and experiences at any time.
