Seahorse Sailor of the Month

FEBRUARY'S NOMINEES
	RAY DAVIES (NZL) He’s won the America’s Cup as a tactician, he’s won the Volvo Ocean Race and his son Hugo says he’s ‘pretty good for an old boy’ on the wire of the family Cherub. But let’s also recognize the amazing influence he has had as lead coach for Emirates TNZ at recent America’s Cups. Considering he has had to adapt his personal experience from ACC monohulls to AC72 cats to AC50 cats and now to AC75s the boy done good. And as for the calmest of calm race commentary... utterly peerless
	PEDRO TROUCHE (BRA) Every now and then it’s time for a special shout-out to the crews. Pedro it was sitting in the front of the Star boat in which he and Paul Cayard won the latest South American Star title in Buenos Aires. Having not sailed together for more than five years, the renewed pairing clicked almost immediately and so were able to focus on developing speed in their borrowed boat while also taking maximum advantage of Trouche’s local knowledge of the tricky waters off Olivos
