America’s Cup champion to Paralympian
In 1997, Americas’ Cup-winning strategist Rick Dodson thought he was invincible. He had a happy marriage, a stack of wins in national and international sailing, and was part-owner of one of the world’s most technically advanced sailmakers.
But a diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis) threatened his world. He kept it secret and was strategist in two more America’s Cups. In 2012 Rick co-founded Kiwi Gold Sailing to compete at the 2016 Rio Paralympics Games.
Storms Ahead – Rick Dodson: America’s Cup Champion to Paralympian is a story of determination and relentless optimism, written by award-winning yachting journalist Rebecca Hayter. Including interviews with Sir Russell Coutts and other members of Team New Zealand, it captures the extraordinary mateship that won the America’s Cup in 1995 and 2000, and was a major factor in Rick Dodson’s Paralympian campaign.
