The team
One man's dream remains a dream - but with a team, the dream becomes reality ...
Our team is made up of participants from a wide variety of backgrounds and with a broad spectrum of skills, linked by a mutual enthusiasm to return to World Water Speed Record to Britain. Team members contribute their time and skills voluntarily, dovetailing their efforts on the Quicksilver project with their other commitments.
The Quicksilver team's headquaters is at Nottingham East Midlands Airport - chosen for its central location geographically and its close proximity to the M1 motorway.
More information on individual team members, and photos, will be added shortly.
