TOM KNEEN (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
Well, that wasn’t very
funny… Tom Kneen and his
Plymouth team on their JPK
1180 Sunrise did a terrific job
winning the Fastnet this year,
with the bonus of breaking away from the
fleet in light air on the way to Cherbourg
and finishing 10 hours ahead of their
nearest class rival, joy of joys. They did a
nice job winning the Middle Sea Race too,
or they thought they had. After that, well, a
bunch of novice boys scouts would have
made a better fist of sorting out the results
