Sailing’s most famous (and beloved for his likability) “mustache” made Italy dream in 1992 when he took Raul Gardini’s Moro di Venezia to the America’s Cup final against the Americans in San Diego by winning the Louis Vuitton Cup. Born in San Francisco in 1959, an absolute star player (he won the World Cup in ’88 along with Steve Erickson), he triumphed with the Italian team at the ’95 Admiral’s Cup and the ’97 Whitbread (now known as the Volvo Ocean Race, the round-the-world race in stages) at the helm of Sweden’s EF Language.
He is always hanging out on the race courses, constantly challenging himself on the Star and has been is the head of the Swedish Artemis team as part of the 34th America’s Cup.
Because: Paul Cayard made us dream, when with Raul Gardini’s Moro di Venezia, in 1992, he made it to the finals in the America’s Cup. No Italian boat had ever managed to get to play the “old jug.”
