Cool People: Rod Dawson Jun 9, 12:01
Congrats to Peter Gilmour's PST, including our own Rod Dawson (NZL, weather/sailing team), for their win at Match Race Germany last weekend. With the win, Gilmour today clinched his third consecutive World Match Racing Tour Championship and fourth ISAF Match Racing World Championship.
Rod has been racing with Gilly's PST for a number of years. "I am the mainsheet trimmer, and from that position I can help Gilly with some of the tactical decisions."
No doubt Rod's keen weather eye is also a big help to PST in consistently getting the first shift off the starting line and picking the correct side of the first weather leg -- same as he does when working alongside BMWOR team meteorologist Chris Bedford on our tender.

PST crew.
Grip and grin at the prizegiving. It was also Gilmour's third consecutive
win of Match Racing Germany.
