Jim Richardson (USA)
| Nomination |
King of the Farr 40s?

Why they won |
There is no curse of Seahorse Sailor of the Month, we know this because the 2008 Rolex Farr 40 Worlds had concluded before we counted the votes… but it was a shame that Jim’s award – and a highly popular choice by the way – came as he was flying home having finished an untypical eighth overall. A modest consolation? |
