Timeline
John Paul Kostecki (born July 7, 1964) is an American competitive sailor of Polish descent.
He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
He started his sailing career in the San Francisco Bay, California.
Kostecki won a number of world champion titles in different sailing classes.
At the 1988 Summer Olympics in Busan, South Korea, he finished in 2nd place in the Soling class along with his partners William Baylis and Robert Billingham.
In 1988, he was then named United States Rolex Yachtsman of the Year
He sailed with America3 at the 1992 America's Cup.
He also sailed the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1997/1998.
In 1997, he won the One Design 48 Championship, and the Malaysia Challenge Grand Prix.
Kostecki became very popular in Europe as skipper and helmsman of the German yachts all called "Pinta" owned by the Illibruck family.
After a short employment with the BMW Oracle America’s Cup Team in the early 2000s he left for the 2005 VOE.
In the 2001–02 Volvo Ocean Race he led Illbruck Challenge that was based in Leverkusen to an overwhelming victory in the arguably toughest sailing race around the world.
Of notable interest was the fact that Illbruck set the world 24 hours speed record for monohulls.
The record of 484 nautical miles was completed at 20:02 on April 30 during Leg 7 of the Volvo Ocean Race and was confirmed by the World Sailing Speed Record Council.
This sparked an unprecedented sailing boom in Germany that led to thousands of sailing fans and Illbruck supporters awaiting Kostecki and his crew finishing their last leg from Gothenburg to Kiel.
In 2002, Kostecki was named United States Rolex Yachtsman of the Year for the second time
In 2002 he was shortlisted for the World Sailing - World Sailor of the Year Awards.
He did the 2005–06 Volvo Ocean Race with Ericsson.
He was also designated skipper for Ericsson’s in the next Race (2008/2009) but resigned from his position in August 2007 for family reasons
In 2008, the then three times America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts, who had just recently been appointed CEO of Larry Ellison's America’s Cup Team BMW Oracle Racing, hired Kostecki for his afterguard.
The next America’s cup match took place between the defender, the Swiss team Alinghi, and BMW Oracle, in Valencia (Spain) in February 2010.
With Kostecki as tactician, the American team won both races against the defender and thus brought back the oldest trophy in sports history to the United States after 15 years.
