Seahorsesailor of the month DECEMBER
In association with
JUD SMITH (USA) They all turned up, 91 boats and half the pro sailors on the planet. And it was a battle. Jud Smith added the
2018 J/70 world title to a busy trophy cabinet after finishing just 1pt ahead of runner-up Bruno Pasquinelli. The top three were covered by 3pt after 11 hard races. Tight. As well as being among the best one-design sailors of his generation (three Etchells world titles for starters) Smith is also one of the most helpful guys in the boat park – here that counts just as much
