2012 Tour Champion Williams Presented with Silver Alms Dish

NBC-1TV World News


[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]Alpari World Match Racing World Champion Ian Williams was at the Garrard and Co in Mayfair, London today where he was presented with a Britannia silver Alms dish by the Tour in recognition of his title success last season.

Having captured the title at the final stage, the Monsoon Cup, in December with his GAC Pindar crew, Williams equalled Peter Gilmour's all-time record of four World Championships.

The trophy was designed and created by Garrard, the Tour's Official Jewellery and Silversmith partner. It was first awarded to Ian Williams in 2011 however the names of each winner since the first ISAF Match Racing World Champion was crowned in 1988 are also engraved on the trophy, including Dean Barker, Russell Coutts, Ed Baird and Ben Ainslie. From 2006, the winner of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour has been awarded the title.

Speaking about what it means to have his name engraved on the Tour trophy, Williams said: "The history of the Tour is fantastic and I'm so pleased to have my name alongside some of the sailing greats who have also won this title. This specific trophy was first awarded to us in 2011 so with 2012, that makes it two from two!

“We‘re still enjoying our achievement and having come from the Yachting Journalists’ Association Awards, it was great to see how many people are following the Tour and my team.”
