Biography
New Zealand boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics and so Ross did not compete. Ross has competed in four Whitbread Around the World races, in 1985–86 he sailed with NZI Enterprise, in 1989–90 he was on the second place Fisher & Paykel NZ, in 1993–94 he spent one leg on board eventual W60 winner Yamaha, and in the 1997–98 race he was on Toshiba with Dennis Conner. In 1999 Ross joined Connor's Stars & Stripes in a support role for the 2000 Louis Vuitton Cup. He played a similar role for Luna Rossa Challenge for the 2003 Louis Vuitton Cup. He has designed a series of boats, including the Ross 930.
