Should we as YBW contributors nominate Barry Perrins as Sailor of the Year?

Should we start a YBW contributors Sailor of the Year? And going on from there I nominate Barry Perrins of Old Sea Dog fame on Youtube for his epic transpacific sail in a MAB!

Great news. I wondered where he had got to.

 

[mainsail1]

And yes, why not?

 

[Spyro]

Yes, I think he'd appreciate that

Rimas did it on a far lower budget.

Glad to hear he is alive and well. I'm not into all these gongs for just doing what you set out to do.

Looks like it was fairly slow going at times for Barry, very glad to see that he has made it safely across and now has the opportunity to fix up the boat. His Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/adventuresofanoldseadog/posts/2034986693216438?__tn__=K-R has a brief overview that makes it sound like he had to work very hard to make it happen.

Much as I like the old seadog , think Susie Goodall would get my vote

 

[Walther]

No.

That was easy!

For 2018?

I'd propose Hilary Lister in a heartbeat

Tony Curphey on Nicola Deux should certainly be in the running! https://my.yb.tl/nicoladeux?fbclid=IwAR0z9RumviiluNwMNnhlFINKMRH5isKO5Aj4Y3EDnA_ln3lukM0jIcMDxv0

Start your own thread then.

I like BarryP but he has not done anything (yet) to merit such an accolade.

 

[Bitterend]

No!!!

 

[GHA]

Well start a new thread proposing that.

Well start your own thread about how only one nomination to this fictitious award is allowed per thread and no one can propose any alternative suggestions. Might be a short thread, or maybe not....

 

[Heckler]

No!!!

Why!!!

Love the old Seadog have been following him from the start , love his attitude and open friendliness , but I have to agree with others that he is only following a long dream and stopping off and flying home on occasions, and getting rather drunk in some videos this does not warrant an achievement award , those that sail non stop or take on the Southern Ocean , and go single handed have my vote , but old Barry can have a beer on me when I see him.
