𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝟐𝟓 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑 🌍 🏆👇 #throwback A rising America’s Cup star in the making in 2006, this week’s WMRT 25th anniversary throwback is for Australian America’s Cup legend Jimmy Spithill, pictured winning the 2006 Brasil Sailing Cup on the World Match Racing Tour in Angra dos Reis with his Luna Rossa Team of Magnus Augustsson, Michele Ivaldi, Jonathan McKee and Joey Newton. The team finished the regatta with a 10-1 win-loss record taking home a $35,000 share of the $100,000 prize purse after defeating France’s Thierry Peponnet in the final (K-Challenge) sailing with crew Benoit Briand, Tanguy Cariou, Herve Cunningham and Thierry Douillard. Spithill was racing under Luna Rossa colours in 2006 after being selected as helm by Francesco de Angelis for the 2007 America's Cup in Valencia. Spithill was a mainstay of the team which he led to the final of the Louis Vuitton Cup 2007 after beating one of the favourites, Oracle BMW Racing, 5–1 in the semifinals, earning the nickname of "James Pitbull" among Italian fans because of his aggressive tactics. Jimmy is the protagonist of what is arguably remembered as the greatest pre-start in the history of the America's Cup, forcing two penalties to BMW Oracle skipper Chris Dickson in race five of the Louis Vuitton Cup 2007. #matchracing #wmrt #wherechampionsaremade

We were extremely saddened to read the news about We were extremely saddened to read the news about the sudden passing of Peter Lester from New Zealand, aged 70. A two-time New Zealand yachtsman of the year and competitor in three America’s Cup campaigns (1988, 1992 and 1995), Peter became one of the most well known commentary voices in sailing including at the Olympics, America's Cup's and a number of World Match Racing Tour events (pictured right at the Korea Match Cup 2013). Always friendly and hugely knowledgable about all things sailing and match racing, Pete was a joy to listen to and learn from at any event, behind the mic or in the bar. Fair winds Pete, the sailing and match racing world will miss you 💙💙
