ERIC DOYLE (USA)|
| | Nomination |
Sailing with Tom Olsen, Doyle
won the Star Worlds back in
1999 and he has clearly not
lost the knack, winning this
year’s midwinters in Miami
with a scoreline of 2,1,1,1,1,1,1,8 racing
now with Payson Infelise. To put some
context to this achievement, the next
places were filled by Augie Diaz, Paul
Cayard and John McCausland, all of them
also previous Star World Champions.
Doyle’s final tally of 8pt put him 17pt
ahead of 2nd-place Miami specialist Diaz

| Why they won |
| ‘Eric is the Honey Badger of Star
Sailing!!! A force to be reckoned
with! And an all-around great
guy. Proud to race against him
and call him a friend’ – Marnie
Jenkins; ‘He’s been on the water
as a competitor, coach, or sage
if you will, for most of his life. I
also know he has been steering
those sail designers in the right
direction for years! So I say good
on you, Eric’ – Johnny River; ‘He
just works extremely hard at his
craft… so he deserves to win as
often as he does!’ – Alex Curtis. |
