KARL KWOK (HKG)|
| | Nomination |
Victory at the offshore
worlds in The Hague
was one of numerous
successes for one of
the most enthusiastic
yacht racers on the planet. Kwok has
supported many sailors through their
careers and he has also been quick to
back a new designer he feels worthy
of support. Many established names
in the yacht racing industry owe this
quiet Hong Kong businessman a
great deal. And straight after winning
the worlds he rushed to Palma to win
IRC1 at Copa del Rey. Irrepressible
