GERY TRENTESAUX (FRA)|
| | Nomination |
A sterling reminder of
just how good the
French have always
been at offshore racing
and of what strong supporters they
have always been of RORC’s offshore
programme in particular; examples of
French crews crossing the Channel for
race starts and sailing home after the
finish are legion. Trentesaux has
dominated the RORC programme this
year and a well-earned Fastnet race
win was appropriate icing for the cake
|
| Why they won |
| ‘He is the best’ – Patrice and Mimi Carpentier; ‘We too were OCS in
Fastnet Class 3, but Géry took an hour to recross and we took two
… chapeau!’ – Tom Hayhoe; ‘A great sailor and gentleman’ – Tony
Lawson; ‘What a great offshore sailor’ – Bart Vroon; ‘He has won
virtually every offshore race he’s competed in, certainly this year’
– Pierre Ghewy; ‘He must win, it will be the cherry on the top of
one of the most brilliant offshore campaigns ever’ – Hervé Dereux;
‘Offshore he is such a consistent winner, respect!’ – Koen van Gils. |
