Last summer when Terry McLaughlin from Canada won the Knickerbocker Cup, he just squeaked by an up and coming newcomer to the match racing scene to take home the Cup. A very young team from New Zealand called Team Vision Yachting, with Simon Minoprio as skipper, forced McLaughlin and crew into a third race in a best of three series in the finals of the 2004 Knickerbocker Cup. Minoprio was leading down the first leg, but after some spinnaker problems, lost their lead rounding the final mark, and saw McLaughlin sail on to victory. At the time, spectators and participants in the KCUP knew that Team Vision Yachting was a team to watch. They were right. Minoprio has done it again, this time at the Warren Jones Regatta at the Royal Perth YC in New Zealand last January. There must be something about his competitive juices that kick in at the end of a competition. But when everything is on the line, it seems that this skipper has the ability to pull off a win. And that is exactly what he did by beating Michael Dunstan, the skipper named for the Australian American's Cup entry. In what has been called "a fascinating duel" in the last downwind leg of the third race, Team Vision Yachting held off Dunstan and took the victory in the Warren Jones regatta. Not bad for "a newcomer." And it's interesting that Minoprio's toughest race on the first day of competition was against Laurie Jury, who also was at last year's Knickerbocker Cup. These two relatively young skippers are making their mark in New Zealand racing circles, which includes participation in the new Warren Jones Memorial Regatta, an ISAF Grade 3 event with entry restricted to 25 years and under. Warren Jones, of Australia II fame, died suddenly in May of last year. He is best known for his greatest achievement to sailing which occurred in September 1983, when he overcame almost insurmountable obstacles to lead the first successful challenge for the America's Cup and wrested the "olde mug" from the New York YC for the first time in 132 years of competition. This year's Knickerbocker Cup will be held from August 24-28 and promises to be as exciting as last year's event. Plan to come out on Manhasset Bay to watch some great match racing next August.
