Seahorse Sailor of the Month

OCTOBER'S NOMINEES
	BETSY ALISON (USA) College All American, 5-time Rolex Sailor of the Year, US Sailing Hall of Fame 2011, multiple world champion in keelboats and match racing, 25 years as US Paralympic coach. Then in early 2022 doctors found a large tumour on her hip; after 18 months of treatment and accepting it was not the time to return to a performance dinghy, Alison jumped in a Hansas 303 Paralympic keelboat for the 2023 World Championship in Holland.

	DIEGO BOTIN (ESP) After a disappointing start to the Spanish SailGP campaign an enforced crew shuffle saw the Spanish 49er sailor and avid surfer take over the helm at the end of last year. After several months of steadily improving results the popular Spanish sailor led his equally young F50 team to an impressive victory in tricky, shifty conditions in Los Angeles in July. In second in LA was Denmark’s Nicolai Sehested and, finding himself in very unfamiliar territory Tom Slingsby was 3rd

SEPTEMBER'S WINNER

TRAVIS GREENBERG (USA)

True talent with a curious mind’ – Russ Silvestri; ‘I’ve sailed with Travis and his tactical ability and quick thinking are out of this world’ – Phi Berner; ‘I sailed against Travis at the Optimist Worlds this year. I’m afraid he is an amazing sailor!!!’ – Walter Heeley.
