JOHN GREENWOOD (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
There were a lot of smiles among the Finn fleets of the world when the big man won this year’s Grand Grand Masters world title to add to back-to-back UK Masters titles. Greenwood has been a lifelong Finn enthusiast with more ‘stories’ to tell than most. He has also successfully dipped in and out of the Star Class with many of his contemporaries and continues with his regular Finn training – along with a lot of time spent encouraging younger newcomers to the sport in the UK
