Seahorse Sailor of the Month

Seahorse magazine hosts a monthly poll to recognize recent achievement, and 2024 has gone well for USA with monthly winners Sally Honey, Cole Brauer, Michelle Lahrkamp, and Justin Callahan.

While Laura Grondin (USA) missed out in her match against Tony Langley (GBR), there is an opportunity to close the year strong with an adopted nominee in the December poll:

MAGGIE ADAMSON & CALANACH FINLAYSON (SCO)
The confusion sown by World Sailing with a land grab of ‘new’ offshore championships did not help the ‘Offshore Mixed Doubles Championship’ to gain traction. However, sailed in one-designs in Channel and North Atlantic waters, this was nothing like their balmy Med ‘championships’ of the past. Real racing, real competition, and some really real racing conditions. And these two went and bloody won the whole thing!

JEREMY WILMOT (USA)
A famous name but this time it’s ‘the American one’ of Australia’s legendary Wilmot dynasty. Jeremy Wilmot is of course well-known as a racer of repute within the SailGP circuit and other big pro series, but he enjoyed a particularly impressive, short, sharp winning streak last month when as tactician he won the tight and breezy 2024 Melges 24 Worlds on San Francisco Bay, then hopped straight onto a plane to Europe where he won the J70 World Championship in Palma as helmsman.
