AUGUST'S NOMINEES
	HORACE!!! (CHN) Taking it for the team. Much as we’d like to put the whole lot of them up here we had to pick one member of Dongfeng who we feel sums up everything that is special about the winners of the 2017-18 Volvo Race and Chen ‘Horace’ Jinhao feels like a good fit. Dongfeng’s performance in the previous race was remarkable, from complete newbies to almost winning at their first attempt. Now they’ve pulled it off. And what an amazing result this is for the sport
	BOUWE BEKKING (NED) Oh, how we were torn. Bouwe is a good friend of us here and watching him step ashore after falling at the last on his 8th attempt was not a nice experience. Does a 9th race beckon, maybe from shore we would guess; but Bekking is one of the best tacticians on the J Class and Superyacht circuit so has plenty else to keep him busy and plenty of opportunities to make the contacts to put something together for next time. Nevertheless...
