Fred Eaton & Magnus Clarke (CAN)|
| | Nomination |
The Little America’s Cup has long been a favourite of Seahorse and its readers, and now the competition may finally come alive once again after these two extremely smart Canadian multihull sailors and speed-technicians finally managed to end the reign of Steve Clarke and his incredibly and enduringly successful Cogito. And so now Steve has the excuse he wanted to build a new one… thank you, guys!

| Why they won |
| Wow, that was fairly tight… as we went to press the new Canadian holders of the Little America’s Cup (for it is that – ed) had just edged out this year’s champion TP52 helmsman Torbjørn Törnqvist by 54% to 46% – the voting having hovered between 49:51% and 51:49% for over a week. Artemis in 2008, Torbjørn! |
