Check out these very cool shots of Trouble Makers, the very first Audi Melges 20 all-girl team competing on the progressive 2009 Audi Sailing Series. Onboard was helmswoman Luisa Bambozzi, Elisa Cecconi on main and tactics, Nanda Norgerman as tailer and Donatella Fanti on the bow. Together they will be one of the coolest teams to watch this season in Italy.

"This boat is perfect for girls!" proclaimed the Trouble Makers. "We had really a lot of fun in Lerici, and no problems what so ever on the Sunday where the breeze got up around 18 knots. We will encourage other girls to definitely get into this class of boat."
