BRANDON LINTON (AUS)|
| | Nomination |
Not for building the
mighty Comanche
with his boatbuilding
partner Tim Hacket,
nor for all the other fast machines he
has put on the water over the years,
this nomination is for leading the
team that took a McConaghy 38 one
design and pared it back to just the
hull shell before then rebuilding it as
a half-scale working AC75 with all the
systems operating and the boat up
and foiling reliably within days of first
getting wet. Go, the American Magic!

| ‘I’m glad he’s on our team and not on anyone else’s’ – Jim Turner;
‘These guys have built the fastest monohull in the world, give the
builders some credit!’ – Johnny Hallyday; ‘Great job, go Brandon!’
– Adolfo Carrau; ‘That grumpiest of cats can build a mean boat’
– Todd Thomas; ‘His boatbuilding skills are exceeded only by his
charming personality’ – Sherri Caraccia (are we on a mission!!!);
‘He’s always there quietly contributing success to many of the
top projects’ – Jon Williams; ‘I wouldn’t want to build a boat with
anyone else, his attention to details and knowledge of composites
is genuinely second to none’ – Tim Hackett. |
