PETER DUBENS (USA)|
| | Nomination |
A man who prudently keeps himself under the radar as one of the world’s biggest investors in the sailing and superyacht industry, Dubens
was forced to break cover in Porto Cervo to step forward and collect the IMA Maxi European Championship trophy for the second time. Dubens’ programme is showing the way forward for these big performance yachts, winning events with a much reduced crew, replacing absentees with water ballast and more power-assist

| Why they won |
| ‘Peter is the absolute sailing
enthusiast. From large racer
cruisers to Maxis to Cape 31s.
Not sure how he’d go in a Laser,
though!!! His passion for the
sport was typified when he
bought North Sails Group which
he continues to build, while his
support of both youth and elite
sailors is to be admired’ – Peter
Morton; ‘One of very few racing
yacht owners who still paid their
crew when there was no sailing
during Covid, nuff said’ – Henry
Bomby; ‘… and he’s a joy to sail
with’ – Pom Green. |
