IAIN PERCY (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
The team behind
Bart’s Bash, led by Iain
Percy, aimed to raise
around £20,000 with
their new event in
honour of a wonderful friend... as we
went to press the running total stood
at £276,610 with 26,879 the latest
tally of sailors having taken part in
the event in the many nations all
around the globe. To reach out so far
demanded extraordinary work and
co-ordination – and the Artemis
Racing CEO was not found wanting
