MATTEO DE NORA (SUI/ITA)|
| | Nomination |
This only happened once, for Francis Joyon, but our little-loved
veto has been played again because of escalating concern for the
institution of the America’s Cup. De Nora has backed Team New
Zealand for years but now there really could be all to play for. The
Cup might soon regain more of its precious allure or it may enter
another hiatus under what is looking more and more like a cartel.
That there even are two possibilities is largely due to the passion
of one man without whom this Cup might be a dull story indeed.
