long history of success in
the Finn class including
winning the Gold Cup
aged 20 while holding the Junior Silver
Cup (still the only person ever to do so).
Then in 2018 he paid the Star class
some attention, winning the worlds
and, perhaps even more impressive,
seeing off the most star-studded fleet
ever to win the Star Sailors League and
become the closest thing to sailing’s
International Champion of Champions
