SIMON FRY (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
Ok, a second Dragon
world title in a row
meant we finally had
to give in and allow a
little credit to one of
the most ubiquitous and best-liked
sailors in the world who is also– it
breaks our heart to admit it – quite
good as well. Stirfry raced a One
Tonner with the editor in the year of
our Lord 1989 so, in spite of what you
may think, he’s not a young man…
But he is a top bloke with more big
wins under his (ample) belt than he
would most probably ever own up to.

| Why they won |
| ‘It’s pretty obvious why, Simon (left, above) and I have achieved a
lot together over the past 20 years, originally put together by our
great friend and crewmate Glyn Charles’ – Andy Beadsworth;
‘When someone writes the book of British sailing legends he’ll
have his own chapter!’ – Matt Cornwell; ‘Great sailor, weapons
grade in the bar’ – Magnus Wheatley; ‘About time a decent crew
man got the award instead of the fly-by-night back end chancers’
– Alastair Munro; ‘Once a menace always a menace, there is no
better man to have on your crew… or standing beside you in the
bar’ – Ian Walker; ‘The best!’ – Serhat Altay. |
