How great was it to
see the Sydney 2000
Olympic gold
medallists and former Star world
champions back in action together at
this year’s Bacardi Cup in Miami? And
the old magic is still there, as two of
the most helpful and popular sailors
on the planet slid into the runner-up
slot ahead of the likes of five-time
Olympic medallist Torben Grael, now
sailing with Guilherme Almeida
|
| Why they won |

Sydney’ – Jonathan Harley; ‘Absolute legends and two of the most

rule!’ – Jerry Ford; ‘They both give back so much’ – Steve Shaw. |
