Additional Information
Gavin Brady doesnt race the World Match Racing Tour very often, but when he does he enjoys success. Brady has competed on the Tour since 2000 and has finished either second or third in 12 of them.
He has finished outside of the top eight only once, meaning that he has scored points on the championship leaderboard in 22 events. Despite not having won a Tour event, Brady is one of its most consistent performers.
Brady is one of the few skippers to pull off back-to-back victories at the Congressional Cup. He accomplished the feat in 1996 and 97. He was steamrolling to a victory in the 2003 event, but ran off course in the Final, losing to Read, 2-1.
In one-design racing, Brady has an affinity for the Star, the thinking mans one-design class. With many control lines, a spindly mast and a hull that requires the crew hike over the rail, just inches off the water, the Star has a reputation for proving a champions worth. If you can win in the Star class, you can win in any class.
Brady narrowly missed out winning the 2001 World Championship. He lost by one point, despite winning the last race. He also placed seventh at the 2000 Star Worlds, and 9th in the class at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Brady joined Oracle BMW Racing for Americas Cup 2007 as an afterguard member.
