Brad Butterworth

The Alinghi skipper (full name Bradley William Butterworth) is a thoroughbred sailor and tactician.

Originally a sailmaker, he's sailed around the world twice (Whitbread Round the World and Volvo Ocean Race) and won the America's Cup four times - twice for the Kiwis, twice for Switzerland. Brad is a welcome tactician on superyachts.

When he's not sailing professionally, he loves to play golf or go cruising.

His life motto, "Keep it simple stupid," pretty much says it all about this yachtsman.
