Seahorsesailor of the month APRIL
In association with
MICHAEL BOYD (IRL) Overdue but we chose not to stir things up while he was still the man in charge…
Boydy to his friends, Michael got his sea legs in J/24s back in Ireland in the 1970s. As well as being joint winner of the 2017 RORC Championship through his three-year tenure as commodore he was there to present prizes after every RORC race (includ- ing when racing). Plus not every club commodore is such a ‘worthwhile’ addition to a party: Irishman, you see
MARCH WINNER MONTEL FAGAN-JORDAN (GBR) ‘I was in the Fastnet team, Montel is a great sailor and also a great skipper’ – Espoir Mazambi; ‘A fantastic young man who worked his guts out’ – Paul Hodge; ‘The whole Grieg Academy deserve this award’ – Colin McDonald; ‘I am so proud also for his teachers and his school’ – Dolores William; ‘Wonderful!’ – Dennis Earle; ‘Everyone this young man comes into contact with is impressed’ – Nick Ferrier; ‘Trailblazer!’ – Jon Holt; ‘A superb example of what can be achieved with dedication and hard work’ – Katina Read. Seahorse Sailor of the Month comes to you with Henri Lloyd, Harken McLube and Dubarry. Please get in touchMontel… Nice job
GEORGE DAVID (USA) Back in Antigua after taking the line honours and handicap monohull double in the Caribbean
600 must have felt a long way from floating around, probably terrified, in the Irish Sea after his previous maxi capsized in the 2011 Fastnet. Many others would have been put off by that experience – Larry Ellison gave up ocean racing after the stormy 1998 Hobart –but David was back at sea within months and soon hard at it again
HENRI LLOYD The Henri Lloyd Freedom Jacket has been developed to be the ultimate in cruising apparel. The jacket offers serious offshore protection, plus comfort, features and the durability that the serious cruising sailor demands.

THE MOST WALLET-EFFICIENT BLOCKS WE’VE EVER PRODUCED.
TM
How does Harken create a block that over-delivers its most critical design objective: being inexpensive?
The name is a hint: everything not a building block of durability or strength is stripped away. Element blocks combine a proven bearing system, with the strength of forged aluminum perfectly shaped to protect their fi ber-reinforced nylon sheaves. The result is at once contemporary and durable beyond belief.
Compare Element to competitors’ plain-bearing blocks.
You’ll be surprised at how well they perform — at the checkout counter.
