ANDREJ JUSTIN (SLO)
| Nomination |
An under-rated talent.
Justin first came to
prominence in the
racing world when he
teamed up with qualified engineer
(and not a bad sailor) Russell Coutts to
create the RC44 – as good an example
of ‘boat fits purpose’ as you will come
across. But Justin’s latest design, the
L-30 (pg46) really is something else.
Commissioned for Rodion Luka’s
Ukraine initiative, the L-30 will find a
far wider market as soon as word is out
|
