TONY LAWSON (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
As well as being a
prolific offshore racer
himself, Lawson has
done more than his
share of introducing new talent to
ocean racing on his boats – including
his Class40s and of course his MOD70
trimaran Concise. The most recent
example was the loan of his Class40
Concise 8 to a young team in the
Round Britain Race, led by skipper
Jack Trigger, who went on to finish
2nd in class just six hours behind the
immensely experienced Phil Sharp
