Johan Robert "Joop" Carp (born January 30, 1897 in Jawa Tengah , Dutch East Indies , † March 25, 1962 in Johannesburg , South Africa ) was a Dutch sailor .
Career
Joop Carp took part in the Olympic Games three times . At the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920 he was the skipper of the Oranje , whose crew consisted of his brother Bernard Carp and Petrus Wernink . The only competitor in the regatta was the French boat Rose Pompon from skipper Albert Weil . Since the Rose Pompon was delayed due to problems with customs, the first of three races was not held. The second and third races were won by the Orange , so that the Carp brothers and Wernink became Olympic champions . Four years later , Carp was again skipper at the Games in Paris in the 6-meter class, this time Willem-Six . Together with Anthonij Guépin and Jan Vreede , he qualified for the final races, in which they competed for medals against the Norwegian Elisabeth V from skipper Anders Lundgren and the Danish Bonzo from skipper Vilhelm Vett . Although the Willem-Six and the Bonzo took second and third place in two races, due to the better results in the preliminary round, the Danes were classified in second place, with which the Dutch received the bronze medal. Carp's third participation in the Olympics took place on the occasion of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin , where he again acted as skipper. With the De Ruyter , he did not get past eighth place with 42 points at the regatta taking place in the Olympic harbor in Düsternbrook .
In 1921 he graduated from Leiden University and became a lawyer . After initially working as Vice President at Fokker , he founded the trading company Carp & Co. in Amsterdam , which had good relations with Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld . After Carp & Co. opened an office in New York City , Carp moved his main work there. He married the dressage rider Johanna Hall , but the couple divorced. Carp later emigrated to South Africa .
