BORIS HERRMANN (GER)|
| | Nomination |
Softly softly the non
Francophile presence
in the Imoca fleet is
growing – timely too
as we approach the first use of the
class in the ‘not Volvo’ race. Finishing
a good 5th in the Rhum as skipper
of the well-organised Yacht Club de
Monaco entry for the next Vendée,
Herrmann, like his fellow German
Vendée challenger Jörg Riechers,
has impeccable credentials including
being a regular member of Francis
Joyon’s elite little band of brothers
|
| Why they won |
| ‘I like Paul just as much but his win was a present from Alex and,
hey, who else could a German vote for?’ – Jochen Rieker; ‘Good
sailor, inshore and offshore which is not usual’ – Max Wentzel;
‘Boris is not only an excellent yachtsman but he also managed to
get the finance… which is now perhaps more challenging than
the sailing’ – Uwe Hollenbach; ‘Best German sailor ever!’ – Andreas
Elwe; ‘Boris is just a fantastic sailor and also a great guy!’ – Bendix
Hempel; ‘The clear winner, Boris and Team Malizia all the way, he
is incredibly well-organised and works very hard to keep all his
fans in touch… He’s a top chap!’ – Sophie Hunt. |
