Sled

Sled are the 2021 double champions, winners of the 52 SUPER SERIES circuit and the Rolex TP52 World Championship in the same year, taking their victories at the end of a short, very intense and close season. They race under the flag of the New York YC where the owner-driver Takashi Okura is a long time member where he and his crew campaign his historic 12 Metre Freedom.
Okura stepped up to the 52 SUPER SERIES after more than 15 years racing Farr40s and Melges 32s  

Sled have been regular podium contenders at most regattas thanks to a very strong group of experienced top professionals including several former Team New Zealand sailors most notably including six times America’s Cup winner Murray Jones as tactician and Don Cowie -who runs the project – as mainsheet trimmer. Italian America’s Cup racer Francesco Bruni returned to the team in 2025 and forms a super strong partnership with Jones whilst Italian Andrea Visintini is navigator.

Historically they are one of the most consistent top teams on the circuit and pushed American Magic Quantum Racing in 2025, finishing second for the season and winning the last event of the season in Porto Cervo.
