Radich Racing Team

Jesper Radich is one of the Danish match racing sailors who has taken the world scene by storm.  In 2001-2002 he joined the Tour full time.  One year later he won the WMRT and pocketed a $60,000 bonus as the youngest skipper to ever win.

Like so many Scandinavians, Radich started sailing with his family and says he spent his first birthday on his parent’s boat. He started his competitive sailing career as a child in the Optimist dinghy, a popular trainer for youth sailors around the world.

Since Radich’s victory in 2003 he chose to focus on other sailing interests while still participating in several WMRT events a year as a wildcard. 2010 saw Radich line up in 4 events and incredibly make the podium on every occasion, his worst finish being third at the Monsoon Cup. The Dane is one of the favourites for 2011 but has so far failed to make a podium finish placing 4th at Match Race France and 6th at Match Race Germany.
