wal 27 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 ....and.... by the sound of it....... pushing a more "let's have fun and just go sailing" approach than the raceracerace brigade Which works for me.. Dr Dave 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Oliver 95 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 He was a key part (from skipper to head honcho) is what, five consecutive AC victories? Six? I doubt that will ever be equaled. I met his smarter brother once when he dropped into our club - very unassuming and gracious person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and it’s great to see you guys being fun ambassadors down at the local . The return for sailing as whole is far greater than spending millions on a select few to go to the olympics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think DC won more AC races and was closest to the Trifecta (as Skipper) with Whitbread 3rd?, Olympic Gold, and AC wins. Ainslie is the only guy who could topple them both?

Not even close. Coutts by a country mile followed by Ainsley. Then Conner. I don't rate the 49er ahead of the finn. The finn is a tougher class to win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
