\u00d1eti, the 35-year-old from Santander in the north of Spain, will be taking part in the race for the fourth successive edition. He made his debut on Telef\u00f3nica Black in 2008-09 and returned with Telef\u00f3nica in 2011-12 and MAPFRE in 2014-15<\/p>\n
\u2018\u00d1etifans\u2019 around the world can start working on new banners after MAPFRE announced Antonio “\u00d1eti” Cuervas-Mons as the third member of their team for the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18.<\/p>\n
\u00d1eti, the 35-year-old from Santander in the north of Spain, will be taking part in the race for the fourth successive edition. He made his debut on Telef\u00f3nica Black in 2008-09 and returned with Telef\u00f3nica in 2011-12 and MAPFRE in 2014-15.<\/p>\n
In each of those races, he\u2019s sailed alongside Xabi Fern\u00e1ndez and the skipper for 2017-18 is delighted to have him back as both bowman and boat captain.<\/p>\n
So impressed is Xabi with his countryman\u2019s resourcefulness that he refers to him as a \u2018MacGyver\u2019, in reference to the cult TV character who always seemed to find an ingenious fix for any problem.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u00d1eti is a very good and multi-skilled sailor,\u201d said Xabi. \u201cThis will be our fourth edition on the same team and I look forward to working with him again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00d1eti is also famous in Spain for the group of \u2018\u00d1etifans\u2019 who follow him around the world cheering their support.<\/p>\n
“I am really pleased to be involved in the Volvo Ocean Race again,\u201d said N\u0113ti. \u201cOur main focus now is to start preparing the boat, choose a good crew and make sure the team is in the best possible position come October.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe objective is to always be on the podium because we know perfectly well, because we went through it, that you can pay a high price for a problem on even a single leg.\u201d<\/p>\n
MAPFRE was the second fully re-fitted Volvo Ocean 65 in the water this week in Lisbon and the team \u2013 which also includes the previously announced Pablo Arrarte \u2013 are due to start training shortly.<\/p>\n
