Neilpryde and Starboard team rider Wilhelm Schurmann (BRA-999) from Brazil has just confirmed his entry to the Oceanics. The 2009 World #2 and multiple time Brazilian and South American champion will be competing straight off the back of the Bluewater Regatta in Miami and will surely be a standout contender at this event.

To add to the list, multiple time Olympic representative and former World Champion Jessica Crisp (AUS-15) and her teammate and Beijing Olympian Krystal Weir (AUS-898) will be stepping off the RS:X Olympic gear and on to Formula to contest the Oceanics as well.

Wilhelm had this to say about the event:

“My last time in Australia, was for the FW Worlds a couple of years ago. I tried making it back for the Oceanic a few times, but never managed. This year however, visa and ticket in hand, I am all set to go… I am super stoked to be heading back to Oz for the event, specially at what looks to be a wonderful spot and with lots of great sailors and competition on the water”.
