WILL HARRIS (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
The Ocean Race organisers are making up for the small fleet with punchy investment into onboard stories… and it is paying off. With modern drone skills, transmission bandwidth and improved (coached) comms from those onboard, some real personalities are being created. Will Harris’s composites efforts at the top of the swaying spar of Malizia, closely helped by Rosalin Kuiper, achieved a complex repair that would be hard enough to execute well in the workshop

| Why they won |
| ‘The best sailor in the world’ – Wilma Juffermans (not quite yet, but worth a flutter – ed!); ‘That carbon dust must have itched for days’ – John Thorn; ‘A pity you can’t nominate the whole crew but Will can do it all anyway!’ – Conrad Colman; ‘Topper sailor to Ocean Race skipper, Figaro rookie title and a great chap. Talent, ability to learn it once, strong decision making, makes boats go faster. And will this advance my career without burning anyone else?’ – Charles Darbyshire. |
