JAMES LYNE (USA)|
| | Nomination |
About time we put up
one for the guys behind
the scenes… Lyne must
surely now have the
best record in big boat
coaching in the world? (Letters, please)
A string of TP52 success with Quantum
Racing plus Maxi72, Melges 24 and
Farr40s titles, he is now head coach at
the New York YC’s Terry Hutchinson-led
American Magic Cup challenge. This
former Finn and Flying Dutchman
sailor – bit big now, lad – is also a Pom
by birth. Should never have let him go
