Seahorse Sailor of the Month

Buddy Melges (USA)
Olympic gold* in the Soling, two Star world titles and an America's Cup victory in 1992… 26 January saw the Wizard of Zenda celebrate his 80th birthday. Incredible. This most gregarious and immensely popular of sailing talents has done so much for so many in the sport over the years. As fast in an ice boat (still) as a sailboat: 'just watch the heel angle.' *Did we mention an Olympic bronze in the Flying Dutchman in '64 as well...
Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson (GBR)
Two Olympic gold medals (one in the Finn) for Percy, one so far for Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson. Plus now a second world title in the Star won in Rio in January, seemingly with the ease that marked Percy’s original Finn medal in Sydney in 2000. Time is on the side of these two to go on and build remarkable careers in the sport. Olympic gold, America’s Cup and Volvo Race... it’s still there to be done
