SKIPPER
GAVIN BRADY (USA)
Gavin has been pushing the limits of all aspects of professional sailing for more than 30 years.
He has competed in six America’s Cups, the Whitbread, the Volvo Ocean Race, the 2000 Olympics, the Grand Prix Circuit, and a host of other world championship races. He has led and been part of more than 15 championship teams. More recently, he won the 2023 Offshore World Championships on board the TP52 ‘Beau Geste’ owned by Karl Kwok from Hong Kong. Gavin was also tactician aboard the Maxi ‘Vesper’, winner of the 2022 Maxi Yaht Rolex Cup.
Gavin previously competed on the World Match Racing Tour at over 20 regattas. Despite not having won a Tour event, Brady is one of its most consistent performers, he is also one of the few skippers to pull off back-to-back victories at the Congressional Cup. He accomplished the feat in 1996 and ’97.
In 2023, Gavin re-joined the World Match Racing Tour with his True Blue Racing Team founded as an ambassador and advocates for our oceans and environment.
