The New Zealand Herald are reporting the dominoes continue to fall at Team New Zealand with yet another sailor quitting the troubled syndicate.
After yesterday revealing design chief Nick Holroyd and grinders Winston Macfarlane and Derek Saward had resigned from Team NZ, the Herald has learned pitman Jeremy Lomas has also followed them out the door.
It is understood there are other members of the team weighing up their future at the syndicate.
The departure of the trio of sailors leaves just three members of the 2013 crew remaining at the Kiwi syndicate - wing trimmer Glenn Ashby, who has been promoted to sailing director, tactician Ray Davies and Richard Meacham, the team's bowman.
Through an intermediary Lomas, who is out of the country sailing, said he wanted it known he had left the team, and directed inquiries back to Team NZ.
Team NZ did not return phone calls last night, instead putting out a statement confirming Lomas' departure.
