Sam Davies (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
It was Paul Cayard on EF Language who first demonstrated what a competitor with good media skills can do for an event. Come the current Vendée Globe and for the English-speaking world especially (which remains quite sizeable…), Sam is putting on a bravura performance both for the sympatico spirit of the ocean sailor and for her sponsor Roxy – who are benefiting from Sam’s regular fashion shows in the Southern Ocean

| Why they won |
| The right person for the times: ‘Awesome effort and an A+ on how you’re telling the story; this is the way to bring people into the sport.
