Seahorsesailor of the month OCTOBER
In association with
KARL KWOK (HKG) Victory at the offshore worlds in The Hague was one of numerous successes for one of the most enthusiastic
yacht racers on the planet. Kwok has supported many sailors through their careers and he has also been quick to back a new designer he feels worthy of support. Many established names in the yacht racing industry owe this quiet Hong Kong businessman a great deal. And straight after winning the worlds he rushed to Palma to win IRC1 at Copa del Rey. Irrepressible

Being knocked out in the end by open world champion Torvar Mirsky isn’t so bad…
