Team GB Sailor Micky Beckett Dominates ILCA7 Dinghy Class for Third Year in a Row at Princess Sofia Trophy Regatta

Team GB sailor Micky Beckett has once again proven his dominance in the ILCA7 dinghy class, securing his third consecutive victory at the Princess Sofia Trophy regatta in Mallorca. With an impressive 36-point lead over his closest competitor, Germany’s Philipp Buhl, Beckett has solidified his status as the top sailor in his class.

Beckett’s commanding performance at the regatta has not only secured him another title but has also highlighted the ongoing rivalry between him and current Olympic champion Matt Wearn. The two sailors have been battling it out on the water, with Beckett consistently coming out on top.

Reflecting on his success, Beckett expressed his gratitude for the support he has received throughout his career, acknowledging the journey from finishing 100th in World Cups to now being a three-time Princess Sofia Trophy winner. His sights are now set on the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he aims to medal and potentially take home the gold.

Having missed out on previous Olympic regattas, Beckett’s recent success has earned him a spot on Team GB for the upcoming games. With his eyes firmly set on the podium, Beckett is determined to showcase his best form and prove himself as a top contender in the sailing world.

As Beckett looks ahead to the Olympic Games in Marseille later this year, he will undoubtedly be a favorite to repeat his medal success and continue his impressive winning streak. With his unwavering determination and skill on the water, Beckett is poised to make a splash at the biggest stage in sailing.
