DOUG DEVOS (USA)|
| | Nomination |
Two good reasons for
this nomination: one
topical, one more long
term. Long term is that
while DeVos has
tirelessly supported sailing through
some tough times, with backing for
events like Key West, he has also been
one of the three people underwriting
the TP52 Class that is making such a
go of it in the Super Series. The more
topical reason is that DeVos has just
taken yet another world title in the
TP52 Class... only fair, some would say

| Why they won |
| ‘A tireless and elegant supporter of sailing’ – Dawn Riley; ‘And not
a bad driver either’ – Scott Nixon; ‘Slam dunk. Awesome sailor,
awesome advocate of sailing, awesome person’ – Terry
Hutchinson; ‘There’s many things he’s done to support sailing that
we know about, but so many more that have been kept quiet’
– Tom Burnham; ‘Nicest, most humble man in sailing... don’t ever
change, Doug’ – Kerry Clougher. ‘Thank you, Doug!’ – Ed Baird...
and sincere apologies for using the wrong image last month! |
