    Mark Gordon
    How many times have you done the Port Nic Regatta?

    I was lucky enough to compete in the first regatta back in 1999 on our Young 88 ‘Slinky Malinki’ (that first regatta didn’t end too well for us as we dropped the rig in the last race). Since then I have probably only missed one or two of the Port Nic regattas.
    What makes you enter the Regatta?
    Really enjoy racing over three consecutive days, as well as all of the competitors getting together afterwards at the club and just everyone having a good time.
    What’s your boat’s secret weapon?
    Hmmm not sure we have a secret weapon, we’re just a bunch of aging yachties that really enjoy racing together.
    How long have you owned your boat?
    We purchased REVS in 201
    What’s your most memorable sailing moment?
    Most memorable sailing moment would have to be my first out of the harbour race on the Young 88, probably followed by the Sydney Hobart race back in 2010.
    What’s the oldest thing on your boat?
    That’s easy, one of our hardworking dedicated bowman, Mr Paul Fugle (he’s also one of the quietest on the boat).
    Who’s going to win the America’s Cup?
    Emirates Team New Zealand.
