Sailing career

Dodson joined Team New Zealand and sailed on NZL 32 in the afterguard during their 1995 America's Cup win. He sailed in Team New Zealand's 2000 America's Cup defense before joining OneWorld Challenge for the 2003 Louis Vuitton Cup.

[4][5]

While preparing for the 2003 America's Cup, he sailed on Team Tyco in leg 3 of the 2001–02 Volvo Ocean Race.[6] Leg 3 included the 2001 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.[7]

In 2013 he became involved with Kiwi Gold Sailing, a group of Paralympians qualifying in a Sonar for the 2016 Paralympics. The team originally included fellow America's Cup veteran David Barnes, who later had to withdraw.[4]

As Skipper, he represented New Zealand at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, sailing with Andrew May and Chris Sharp in a Sonar. The team placed fourth in the event.[8]

Personal life

In 1997, Dodson found out he had multiple sclerosis. However, he only informed fellow sailor Jeremy Scantlebury during the 2000 campaign. Despite worsening eyesight, Dodson continued to sail, and has subsequently participated in the 2016 Summer Paralympics.
