Seahorse Sailor of the Month

NOVEMBER'S NOMINEES
	TRACY EDWARDS (GBR) There’ve been highs and lows but over 35+ years of putting together ‘impossible’ projects we would argue there have been far more of the former. No one else ever begged, stole, borrowed then begged again to get an all-girl crew into a grand prix round the world race. And in more recent years, tracking down Maiden, getting her home and fixed up, assembling another all-girl crew to sail around the world… this time impressively multi-cultural. It’s quite a CV
	HAP FAUTH (USA) September 2023 was good enough, but there was a common thread running through Bella Mente’s Maxi World’s victory and the first class performance of NYYC American Magic in Spain – Hap Fauth has the top role in both programmes. It was seven years since Fauth’s previous Maxi title but he kept his team plugging away even as the newer designs started to make some of the regattas less than fun. And Magic is looking good too… really, really good, we reckon

OCTOBER'S WINNER
