Best foredeck crew (Janne Gustafsson Memorial Prize)
Janne Gustavsson's memorial is awarded to the best foredeck crew. The winner is appointed after nomination by the Person in Charge after the finish in Sandhamn. This prize, the Janne Gustafsson memorial, will be awarded to a bowman whose qualities of skill, endurance, fearlessness and determination has contributed to the successful result of the boat.
This year we had several nominations from boats finishing the race. The nominated bowman fought on the foredeck to get everything perfect.
Joakim Hoppe (Tutalör)
"Several times our flying sails got stuck in the water, nevertheless, the bowman continued to prepare and hoist another sail. The scenery was like sitting inside a cold-water washing machine. Suddenly, the gennaker spun around the forestay. Fearless, the bowman climbs up the mast and solved the issue. Just one of several heroic moments in strong wind och very ruff sea. Notably, we competed in the Double handed class."
