ANDY MALONEY (NZL)
| Nomination |
Crikey, could the Team GBR
hegemony of the Finn class
finally be at an end… just
before the Tokyo Games?
When six-time Gold Cup
winner Ben Ainslie retired his position was
immediately filled by Giles Scott (four Gold
Cups). But after a long break for the 2021
America’s Cup Scott finished only ninth at
the 2021 event –where Andy Maloney
took the prize ahead of Joan Cardona (ESP)
and Kiwi defending champion Josh Junior.
If Tokyo happens, this will get interesting
