Grant has competed in twelve America's Cup campaigns in numerous roles, including sailor, designer, senior manager, and CEO. The Aussie sailor has won the Cup four times in his career, first as navigator aboard Australia II, then as head of design and subsequently managing director at Alinghi in 2003, 2007, and 2010.  

Grant’s America’s Cup record goes all the way back to the legendary victory of Australia II in 1983. America’s Cup Hall of Famer has been through seven class changes in his career, including the 12-meter giant catamarans of the 2010 Deed of Gift Match before boats started flying with the AC72 and 50 and now the soft-winged AC75 foiling monohull.  

A co-owner of North Sails Australia for 17 years, he has been a valued part of the North Sails family for four decades. 

New Zealander sail trimmer Simon Daubney has won the Cup no less than five times, establishing him as one of the legends of the America’s Cup. The Hall of Famer started sailing in dinghies and has competed in three Olympic Games and holds eight World Championship titles.  

But it is his achievements in the America’s Cup that have established him as one of the most experienced match racers in Grand Prix sailing - only Murray Jones has won more titles. He started with New Zealand Challenge in 1987 and 1992, before winning and defending the Cup for the Kiwis in 1995 and 2000. He then joined Alinghi to claim the Cup in 2003 and 2007, before winning the Cup again with Team USA in 2013.
