Meeting people is one of the joys of the Clipper race and here we have two very special people.
Dominique Low (Singapore Dominique) became an integral part of the Race in April 2003 when the race was diverted from the schedules visit to Singapore because of the SARs threat. With only five days notice she was one of the main people bringing all the stands together so the Fleet could enjoy a highly successful and fun visit to Nongsa Point Marina in the Indonesia island of Batam, some 8 miles south of Singapore.
Dom, as she is affectionately called, then became ‘Clipper’s man* in Singapore’ for Clipper 05-06 when she was involved in managing all aspects of Uniquely Singapore Clipper.
* Except of course she is a girl.
I am delighted to announce that Singapore Dom is back with us for Clipper 07-08 and is, once again, our main representative in Singapore.
One of her many claims to fame is that she has done some modelling for Dove. It is not often you can say someone looks like any part of a bus but in Dom’s case you can as one of the Dove promotional busses in Singapore has her portrait all over it. Check out the following website and you will not be disappointed (unless you want to see a bus); http://www.imailglobal.com/client-edm/Dove2/Dove2_edm.html
Dominique Le Bras (Salvador Dominique) became an integral part of the Clipper Race in July 1999 when the race visited Salvador for the second time. He was the Point of Contact for all visitors at CENAB which is the regatta centre in the centre of the City.
Dom, as he is affectionately called, became a great supporter of the Clipper race and a good friend. He is French and came to Brazil nearly twenty years ago for a six month stint with Club Med. Like many people that end up in Brazil, the attractions of the Brazilian ladies was an irresistible factor.
He is one of the few people that can call Sir Robin Le Rosbif and get away with it, but that is only because he is a charming Frenchman. His involvement in the sailing scene in Salvador was entirely logical as three or four French ocean races end in the city, including the Mini Transat and the Jacques Varbe. While at CENAB he worked closely with the famous Dayse. Although both have now moved on but we all remain in close touch; such is the nature of good friends.
