Seahorse Sailor of the Month

JUNE'S NOMINEES
Sailor of the Month DYLAN FLETCHER-SCOTT MBE (GBR)
The power of Seahorse may be joked about sometimes but never underestimate it… (and we’ll grab all the credit whenever we can). Last month we said that with the big wins Fletcher has racked up in foiling and other high-performance classes, and the modesty with which he does it, you’d have to be totally nuts if you are in charge of a Cup programme to let this one slip through your fingers. Thanks for showing faith in our judgement, Sir Ben

Sailor of the Month ROSALIN KUIPER (NED)
A good slice of the votes for Will Harris came with a health warning – should we not also similarly acknowledge the big part played in the Malizia dramas by Boris Herrmann’s young Dutch co-skipper. Also quite correctly praising the outstanding media ‘energy’ Rosalin Kuiper brings to the onboard coverage coming off the Monégasque Ocean Race entry. Well, we’re no heroes so we happily bow to the crowd. But keep up the fab comms, Malizia is way ahead in the race for media prizes…

MAY'S WINNER
Sailor of the Month Winner WILL HARRIS (GBR)
‘The best sailor in the world’ – Wilma Juffermans (not quite yet, but worth a flutter – ed!); ‘That carbon dust must have itched for days’ – John Thorn; ‘A pity you can’t nominate the whole crew but Will can do it all anyway!’ – Conrad Colman; ‘Topper sailor to Ocean Race skipper, Figaro rookie title and a great chap. Talent, ability to learn it once, strong decision making, makes boats go faster. And will this advance my career without burning anyone else?’ – Charles Darbyshire.
