| Why they won |
| ‘Sally is my vote. Tinkerer,
Tailor (spent a lot of time in
a trapeze harness she made), Soldier (ever seen her hike a 5o5 flat and fast?), spy – well, she smiles a lot and does fantastic work in so many aspects of our beloved sport, always keeping an open eye or two to sort out the future (plus she needs new boots for her and Stan’s next expedition to Alaska!) – Cam Lewis; ‘Sally is one of the world’s great sailors and a huge contributor to safety at sea.
She is fantastic!!’ – Peter Becker. |
