HUGH WELBOURN (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
Like the uphill struggle
facing our wing rig
innovators, Hugh
Welbourn and his
small team have had to battle for
acceptance of their DSS stability
concept. Our nomination timing is
prompted by the very significant
announcement that McConaghy
Boats are to start building two DSS
designs in China. Meanwhile, the first
DSS Infiniti 46 will begin racing in
earnest shortly… confidence is high!
