RUFUS HENRY (NZL)|
| | Nomination |
After a quick brainstorm we
realised there is one ‘right’
nomination to represent the
whole of Emirates Team New
Zealand. Rufus is the younger
brother of Te Rehutai grinder Finn Henry
and is the team’s ‘Everywhere Man’, a job
Rufus has carried out superbly (also scaring
his chaseboat co-driver whenever he can).
The America’s Cup prizegiving was the
chance at last for the world to see that
there is a lot more to this team than 11
extraordinary sailors (plus Grant Dalton!)
|
| Why they won |
| ‘Ruf dog has a team of 5mill
behind him’ – James Columb;
‘An inspiration to us all, thank
you, Rufus, for your part in
winning the America’s Cup’ –
Ray Davies; ‘Go get ’em, Rufus’ –
Courtnay Clark; ‘His role in Team
NZ sums up the brilliance of a
country where winning comes
from building a team spirit. Plus
he’s a media superstar! – Harriet
Henry; ‘Thanks for this, guys, it’s
so culturally relevant to who we
are as an organisation’ – Grant
Dalton, CEO Team New Zealand. |
