Rob Greenhalgh (GBR/AUS)|
| | Nomination |
Straight off the Puma and a cab to the airport and the silver bird from St Petersburg to France for the Mark Foy ‘skiff worlds’ trophy in 18-footers in Carnac…with the first race less than 48 hours after the Volvo Race finish. Greenhalgh went on to take his latest skiff title after a final-day battle with Grant Rollerson and Howie Hamlin, to add to his VOR win on ABN Amro and runner-up spot this time with Ken Read on the shoe…

| Why they won |
| The brilliant Nathan Outteridge will certainly get another chance, but given that last time Greenhalgh went up against Francis Joyon straight after his incredible round-the-world record we were delighted to see Rob take this month’s win. ‘Always gives 110%’ – Mike Sanderson; ‘An exemplary shipmate!’ – Rick Deppe; ‘Nice one, Bobo!’ – Charlotte Kootstra; ‘The most talented sailor I know’ – Richard Woof; ‘Go Rob!’ – countless members of the Pope family! |
