IAN WILLIAMS (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
What more does the
UK’s (and world’s) best
match racer have to
do to attract the
attention of the elite sailing teams?
By winning a 5th world title Williams
becomes the most successful match
racer of all time. Like Russell Coutts
(engineer), Williams is also a qualified
professional man (lawyer). Brains and
discipline definitely help. Hopefully a
further US$186,000 in prize money
will ease any feelings of injustice...

but he’s got time’ – Linda Harris; ‘Peter Holmberg pointed Ian out

right!’ – Andrew Pindar; ‘He gives up a good job as a solicitor
then becomes the world’s best match racer... outstanding!’ – Tony
