| Additional Information: |
Australian Peter Gilmour is
one of the most respected and feared competitors
on the Swedish Match Tour. After all, he is a
three-time World Champion of Match Race Sailing.
But he's also one of the most knowledgeable skippers
on the Tour.
That knowledge comes not only from years on the match-race circuit, but
also five different syndicates for the America's Cup. Gilmour's Cup career
began with the 1987 defense in Perth, Western Australia, when he was the
starting helmsman for Kevin Parry's Kookaburra syndicate, which ultimately
lost the America's Cup.
Gilmour, however, had made his mark. During the Australian trials to select
the Cup defender, Gilmour used the racing rules to his advantage and drew
countless protests on his rivals. The members of the International Jury
often found themselves sorting out protests well past when everyone had
left the media center. Sometimes their decisions overturned previous day's
results, which created chaos with the defense trials.
Gilmour's actions would ultimately lead to the creation of the Match Racing
Rules, an appendix to the Racing Rules of Sailing. The goal of the new
rules was to decide on-the-water infractions immediately through umpires
in chase boats or on the competing boats.
Gilmour has since been through four other Cup teams since the Kookaburra
days, most recently with Craig O. McCaw's and Paul Allen's OneWorld Challenge
of Seattle, Wash. McCaw and Allen are regular fixtures on the Forbes 500
list of wealthiest individuals in the U.S. and the world.
Gilmour placed fourth and sixth in the first two years of the Swedish Match
Tour, then took off much of 2002 and 2003 while preparing for and then
recuperating from the OneWorld Challenge.
Now, he's back on the Tour with a vengeance. Gilmour has placed 3-1-1 in
the first three events of the current tour, the Danish Open, Bermuda Gold
Cup and Nippon Cup. His win in Bermuda was his third at the Gold Cup, and
the Nippon Cup championship was his fifth consecutive at that event.
Gilmour started sailing at the age of seven on Perth's Swan River, and
he competed in his first world championship at the age of 16, finishing
21st. Gilmour's performance continued to improve as his experience with
the different disciplines of sailing increased.
Gilmour has sailed in everything from dinghies to offshore yachts, having
competed in both the Sydney-Hobart and Fastnet races, but has settled on
match-racing as his chosen field.
Gilmour is married with three children. |
