PHIL SHARP (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
Good to have you back,
buddy. Phil Sharp
relaunched himself on
the singlehanded ocean
racing scene in May
when he dragged his ailing Class40
across the finish line in 3rd place in the
Transat – having led most of the way.
Ten years after dominating the Class40
in the 2006 Route du Rhum Sharp is
now getting ready to begin a 2020
Vendée Globe campaign, having at
long last secured the backing he needs
to demonstrate some prodigious talent
|
