In the final run into America’s Cup 37 Tom Whidden reflects upon his own numerous Cup appearances, primarily as Dennis Conner’s longtime tactician, friend and loyal personal supporter. Craig Davis marks his own return to the pages of Seahorse by speaking to Whidden about winning and losing the America’s Cup alongside the world’s most famous carpet salesman…
Tom Whidden has been involved in sailing almost all of his life. Whether it was his Olympic campaign, or co-founding Sobstad Sails or his being head of and building North Sails. But perhaps his most recognised events have been the eight America’s Cup campaigns that he has done with Dennis Conner. With two such personalities in the field of yachting/sailing, we have all seen their on-the-water exploits, winning the Cup in 1980, losing it in 1983, winning it back in 1987, defending with the catamaran against the Big Boat, trying to defend in 1992, being selected as the Defender in 1995 and losing again, and then challenging again in 2000 and 2003.
