The explanation from last year was that with yachts with many crew taking part, it was just the skipper who's name was used, as is traditional in yacht racing. Whether this was true, or it was just to make administration easier (or that many results came in where the crew's name was missing so it was decided not to use them) I think it is bad for crew morale.

Well if my recent Merlin experiences are anything to go by, the crew should get the medal, when I helmed with it's regular crew we did ok, when I crewed with it's regular helm we were pants.

Ergo Crew more important than Helm in Merlin Rocket.

I appreciate the logistics of giving the crew a mention, not easy. I know they had enough agro getting the results together last year as it was.

If they could rectify the system for the future it would be great.

Seems a little ironic, given that many people will remember Bart crewing a Star to Olympic gold.
