My 66th year closed out strong with a win in the Etchells World Championship on Friday. Against 76 teams James Mayo, Ben Lamb and myself delivered a convincing win.

St. BarthsPerseus 3 is the winner in the Grande Dames class of the 2026 St. Barths Bucket. The 60 meter Perini won 0n a tie breaker over Rosehearty, the winningest Perini of all time.

The best things in life are worth waiting for! My teammate Frida and I just won the Bacardi Cup! — the most important Star Class regatta outside of the World Championship. I have been chasing that traditional sip of Bacardi rum for 46 years, ever since I first raced in the Bacardi Cup as crew for the late, great Tom Blackaller in 1980.

Being voted Rolex Yachtsman of the Year is an honor of the highest order! I am flattered and humbled to be included amongst the great American sailors who grace this award.

Being inducted into the America’s Cup Hall of Fame — alongside legends Jimmy Spithill and Susan Henn — in the iconic Model Room of the New York Yacht Club, and in front of an all-star audience of family, friends, and peers, was one of the great highlights of my life.

This year, in Split, Croatia, against 101 of the world’s best teams, I finally did it. To be back on top of what I consider the best One-Design in Sailing, after 37 years — and become the oldest Star World Champion at 66, is gratifying beyond words.

It has always been my honor to give back to the sport that has given me so much. My purpose is to support the athletes of today and the next generations. In March of 2021, I accepted the position as head of the US Olympic Sailing Team, with the goal of getting Team USA back on the podium.  While this was my greatest challenge, I am very proud of my Team and what we achieved to date.

The 93rd Bacardi Cup got underway today with 65 Stars, from 15 countries, racing under classic Biscayne Bay conditions of 12-15 knots from the Southeast.

While light winds prevailed all day, the final could not have been more exciting. Beautiful week-tough day.

Day 4 of the 2019 SSL Finals saw the qualifying series come to a close. Due to light winds, 2 races were run today making it a 10 race qualifying series. Phil and I ran the gauntlet and made it! There was nothing easy about it.
