“Vasco Vascotto? He’s always spurring us on in the circle.” This is Rebecca Geiger, she is 14 years old, won the Women’s Optimist European Championship and has grit to spare. If this is the new generation of sailors, we can look forward to a good future for Italian sailing. Rebecca, with more than 7,000 votes, is the third of the finalists for the TAG Heuer 2021 Sailor of the Year – Epic 30th Edition, which we present to you.
Why the TAG Heuer 2021 Sailor of the Year is unmissable
An unmissable TAG Heuer Sailor of the Year: we asked you to vote for who, among the 100 most significant sailors of the past 30 years selected by the editorial staff, was the one who most moved you. After 120,000 votes you have determined the top ten (or rather, 10+1 for a tie), and from tomorrow we will go through all the finalists in detail with our interviews, every day at 1 p.m. on our channels.
Who will win you will only find out on April 24 at 9:30 p.m., when the Evening of Champions will be aired and when we will present all winners with valuable TAG Heuer Aquaracer chronographs….
