EMMA RANKIN (AUS)|
| | Nomination |
After serving her time on
the rack with other skippers
Emma Rankin had learnt
her stuff. In late October the
young Ms Rankin started her
first 18-foot skiff race in Sydney on the tiller
and led her Shaw Financial Services crew
to fourth place, finishing just behind John
Winning’s Yandoo. Of course Rankin had
done a bit before starting in the 18s: two
Formula 16 national titles, another in the
Hobie 16s and some good results too on
the Formula 18 and match-racing circuits
