Hap fauth biography

For John “Hap” Fauth, a long-time seasonal resident of Naples, sailing has been a lifelong love. From his first experience aboard dinghies in the Great South Bay of Long Island at age seven to becoming a three-time world champion in competitive yacht racing decades later, Fauth has demonstrated his skill on the water time and again.

Over the past five years, he and the highly skilled crew of Bella Mentehave won the Rolex Maxi 72 World Championship three times and are gunning for the title again this year, hoping to continue their winning streak in the Maxi 72 circuit.

Fauth’s 2017 campaign has two phases—the Caribbean races and European races. It begins with the Caribbean 600, a grueling race around 11 islands, and culminates with the Rolex Maxi 72 World Championship in Porto Cervo, Italy, in September.

“Every year, just like in Nascar, there is normally a technological advantage that new boats have,” Fauth says. “You have to beat them the old-fashioned way: just out-sail them. That’s the reason this campaign is unique—the boat’s a year older and so am I.”
