STACEY JACKSON (AUS)
| Nomination |
Jeez… where to start.
This must be what
they mean by ‘going
viral’, the whole world
was banging on our door to make
this (deserved) nomination. A Volvo
racer with SCA and a veteran of most
things from skiffs to maxis, Stacey
pulled together a really excellent
all-woman crew for the last Hobart
and then finished second overall. Big
at raising awareness of ocean health
and women in sport – we were not
brave enough to ignore the mob…
