Brad Jackson (sailor)

Brad Jackson is a New Zealand sailor that has sailed in multiple Volvo Ocean Races.

Sailing career

Jackson first sailed with NZ Endeavour in the 1993-94 Whitbread Round the World Race. He then sailed on Merit Cup in the 1997-98 Whitbread Round the World Race before joining Team Tyco for the 2001-02 Volvo Ocean Race.

He was a member of ABN Amro I in 2005-06, Ericsson 4 in 2008-09 and Mar Mostro in 2011-12.

He coached Team SCA in the 2014-15 edition.

For the 2017–18 Volvo Ocean Race, Jackson was originally named as a watch captain for Team AkzoNobel before being promoted to skipper following the sacking of Simeon Tienpont.[1] Tienpont was then reinstated by an arbitration panel, resulting in Jackson deciding not to sail in leg 1.[2]

gollark: Anyway, I'm looking at it, it's hard to tell what the problem might be without more information.
