MARK MILLS (IRL)|
| | Nomination |
Often the bridesmaid...
Finally in Porto Cervo
in September Andre
Soriano’s Mills-designed
IRC 72-footer Alegre
captured its first Mini Maxi world title.
Mark Mills designs have actually had a
terrific time of it during 2014, winning
numerous big races around the world.
But a Maxi world championship does
not come easily, particularly when as a
designer you find yourself competing
against larger and very often more
heavily-resourced professional rivals

| ‘From Mandrake all those years ago, he just keeps on producing
fantastic boats’ – Peter Morton; ‘Beautiful design and terrific
engineering’ – Keith Church; ‘Mark is the designer I have chosen

with a brilliant brain’ – Brendan Foley; ‘The Mills 39 is one great
