MATEUSZ KUZNIEREWICZ (POL)|
| | Nomination |
Two-time Finn Gold Cup
winner, two-time Star World
Champion, 1996 Olympic
gold medallist also in the
Finn. Even so few saw what
was coming down the track at them in
Miami at this year’s Bacardi Cup when,
sailing in a typically competitive 66-boat
fleet with his world champion crew Bruno
Prada, the pair achieved a devastating
scoreline with three wins and three 2nds,
discarding one 2nd place to finish an
unprecedented 15pt clear of the next boat
