Seahorse sailor of the month In association with
Seahorse sailor of the month competition February MARCH NOMINEES
BRIAN THOMPSON (GBR)
What a year Brian has had, grabbing the reigns of the MOD 70 Phaedo3
with owner
Lloyd Thornburg, wracking up race win after race win and record after record. The competition has come and gone but the Phaedo crew have been unstoppable. In our opinion their finest result was snapping at the heels of the giant Spindrift 2 all the way around the Fastnet course before finishing just minutes behind
KNUT FROSTAD (NOR)
WINNER HAKAN SVENSSON (SWE)
Ian Walker’s Green Dragon, Kenny Read’s two Puma campaigns, Freddy Lööf and a gold medal at London 2012 and now match racing in M32 cats, Håkan Svensson has done a great deal for sailing in recent years. ‘You won’t find a nicer or more enthusiastic person in the sport’ – Ian Walker; ‘Håkan is changing the game’ – Tom Gross; ‘He is taking the steps that no one else is willing to do to encourage the young teams’ – Chris Poole; ‘First he is my husband and second he deserves to win!’ – Chatarina Björkroth. Seahorse Sailor of the Month comes to you with Musto, Harken McLube and Dubarry. Please contact us at Seahorse for your prizes
No two ways to say this, the Norwegian race veteran saved the Volvo Ocean Race with his
decisive move to one-design VO65s. No ifs, no buts, Frostad faced down the waverers and made the call early enough for a complex build programme to be executed in a reasonable time frame, also putting enormous energy into helping ‘his’ teams find backing. He leaves the Volvo Race with a strong foundation for the next edition in 2017
