ROBERTO LACORTE (ITA)|
| | Nomination |
Without performance sailing
enthusiasts like Roberto
Lacorte who are fortunate
enough to have sufficient
resources to follow their
dreams we would still be back around the
time of the first canting keels. America’s
Cup figures like Matteo de Nora and Larry
Ellison believed it when told their giant
Cup boats could fly and barely 10 years
later we take flying big boats for granted.
So thank you, Roberto, and also for giving
Seahorse such cool stuff to write about!
