Peter Gilmour has sailed in everything from dinghies to offshore yachts, having competed in both the Sydney–Hobart and Fastnet races, but has settled on match-racing as his chosen field.

Peter trailed by 23 points beginning the second half of the season, but closed with a string of 2-1-1-1 to complete the comeback.

Australian Peter Gilmour is one of the most respected and feared competitors on World Match Racing Tour.

During the Australian trials to select the Cup defender, Gilmour used the racing rules to his advantage and drew countless protests on his rivals.

The members of the International Jury often found themselves sorting out protests well past when everyone had left the media center.
