ASIA PAJKOWSKA (POL)|
| | Nomination |
While the Golden
Globe fleet was
making its gentle
(sorry, VDH) way
around the globe there were others
less well-known out there doing the
same but on an even more personal
level. The first Polish woman to
complete a solo non-stop round the
world voyage, Pajkowska onboard
her aluminium 40-footer started
three months after the Golden Globe
but beat the race’s last finisher Tapio
Lehtinen home by over four weeks…
