CLAUDIA ROSSI (ITA)|
| | Nomination |
Got a decent pedigree
has our Claudia. Her dad
is ‘enfant terrible’ ORC
world champion Alberto
Rossi and Claudia also
did a nice job preserving family honour
with a strong fifth-place finish at the
breezy J/70 Worlds in San Francisco.
Nine top-five finishes in a 70-boat fleet
rammed with what felt like every good
pro-sailor on the planet suggests we
will be hearing a lot more about Italy’s
latest speedy driver. A nice career on
the Mediterranean maxi circuit awaits
