It's asterisks all the way for Johnny Mordaunt as he figures three times in the Sailor of the Month listings in the first half of 2025.
It began with the win for the Volvo 70 Tschuss (owned and co-skippered by Christian Zugel) in the RORC East-West Transatlantic in January, then they went on to win the RORC Caribbean 600 in February, and in June she returned to Europe via the RORC Transatlantic West-East with crew again including Crosshaven's Nin O'Leary, winning overall by a clear 30 hours on corrected time.
We've got a favour to ask
More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.
Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
