Andrew Pindar (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
Pindar's enthusiastic support for endeavour sets a fine example. The backer of ocean racers such as Emma Richards (above) and Mike Sanderson, he now also supports some of the UK's best young sailors. Always acting in the spirit of the sea, during the Around Alone Pindar was quick to lend support (and a mast) to rivals. His latest gesture, sending his hospitality trawler to help the rescue of J-P Dick's Virbac, was typical of his far-sighted and generous attitude
