Peter Morton (GBR/AUS)|
| | Nomination |
Frequently outspoken in his criticism of the status quo he may be, but few people have done more for British big boat racing. Campaigning and project managing IOR, IMS and IRC designs, resourcing teams for the Admiral’s Cup and Commodores’ Cup and most recently being the driving force behind the thriving ‘all new’ Quarter Ton class (supported lest we commit a grievous oversight by his rapid wife, Louise…)
