Reece’s Hardwork Paying Off
Followers of match racing will by DOBBS DAVIS
remember the meteoric rise of two young teams - Torvar Mirsky and Adam Minoprio - in the 2009 season, and may see the same pattern emerging again with another potential young talent from
Down Under. Jordan Reece and his Estate Master Sailing Team are in their second year of following the same endless summer approach made by Mirsky and Minoprio: race from November to April in the antipodes and then migrate north to the US and Europe from May to October. Based in Sydney and supported in part by the Royal Sydney
Yacht Squadron, Reece and his core team of Henry Kernot, Jaidan Stevens, and Arnau Farras-Knowles have raced in a staggering 36 events since starting in 2009, and have climbed
from their 119th ranking to 28th in the world just in the last year. Not bad for someone who has been racing keelboats for only five years and being only a 20-year-old, he still qualifies to compete in Youth events. It was in these Youth events that Reece and his Estate Master
Sailing Team gained traction in their climb towards the top: in 2010 they made the semi-finals four times and the finals twice in six events. In 2011 they improved further, getting to the semi- finals in 10 events, the finals in six, and winning three, including two events in Poland and the Grade 2 Detroit Cup, their best result to date – results which convinced software property company Estate Master to come in as their main sponsor. Estate Master Sailing Team will once again migrate north
this year, with a clear self-stated plan: “To get a Tour card by next year, and be the Tour Champion by 2015.”
