ROSALIN KUIPER (NED)
| Nomination |
A good slice of the votes for
Will Harris came with a health
warning – should we not also
similarly acknowledge the big
part played in the Malizia
dramas by Boris Herrmann’s young Dutch
co-skipper. Also quite correctly praising the
outstanding media ‘energy’ Rosalin Kuiper
brings to the onboard coverage coming off
the Monégasque Ocean Race entry. Well,
we’re no heroes so we happily bow to the
crowd. But keep up the fab comms, Malizia
is way ahead in the race for media prizes…
